About Alocasia 'Sarian'
Alocasias, commonly known as Elephant Ears, are some of the most common houseplants although their leaves can reach enormous sizes when grown outdoors! 🐘 They typically only support a few leaves at a time (more, when they get more sun!) so don't be concerned if you see an old leaf begin to retire after a new one emerges. They grow out of underground corms which are similar to bulbs, so next time you repot keep an eye out for baby Alocasias! They contain calcium oxalate crystals so be sure to keep them out of reach if you have children or pets! ⚠️

I don't like this path so far... Hello all, This is the current state of our plant. We've lost 2 other leaves from this plant. We have south east facing windows. Can we save this plant? If no, how can I prevent this next time? Thanks in advance

Alocasia Help #Alocasia So when I bought my Monstera I also bought this Alocasia from the same lady. I picked it up Thursday evening, placed it in a west window and then went out of town for 2 days. When I got back the leaves were turning yellow. Compare to the profile picture. This is my 1st Alocasia and thus have no experience. I have not watered her or done anything except place her in the window. Can she be saved? Any advice very much appreciated!! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewPlantMom #GregGang

Curling leaves, some yellowing I am new at taking care of alocasias (and most of my other plants, I just keep adopting new kinds 😅) and I had a mishap right after adopting this gal. I was overeager to pot her, so I potted her in the wrong soil and a pot with insufficient drainage and thus ended up SERIOUSLY over-watered her. 😭🤦 I re-potted her soon after with the right soil and a well-draining pot, and she perked up. However, she's starting to curl and yellow again. I even have a lil humidity tray for her too! What should I be doing to help her live her best planty life?? 🥺🌿 #alocasiaaddicts #plantaddict #newplantmom

Alocasia Sarian Help :( After being brutally fooled by new growth and pups; upon checking the soil of my alocasias pot and its roots; it's rotted, a lot. as well as tiny little white mites in its soil. I am distraught, I've cleaned the roots throughly but have lost well over 90% of it's root system. Will it be okay? I've repotted it into a smaller pot with drainage to help it recover, any other tips? I am seeing a lot of new growth still, I am just concerned, and beginning to feel as if I am a really bad plant parent :(

Watch the lighting for this plant, bright indirect and water when it’s dry dry! The stems hold water and the plant will drip and droop and die otherwise lol
