How to fertilize Assorted Alocasia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Assorted Alocasia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any suggestions to repot this beautiful rescue plant ? She has at least one new big leaf , and roots are showing from the bottom, she is currently on a ceramic self watering pot with a plastic pot inside, current soil is a mixture of coco coir perlite and orchid bark for what I can see. I would also add and that she is my first alocasia ever ❤️ and my level of expertise with alocasias is low despite that she is thriving under my care. I would like to add that I heard these plants are drama queens 👸 and chose death over any inconvenience. Please help 🙏🏼

I just want to share with others who can share my excitement and also trepidation - 😌 I am so excited at how well the Swiss cheese plant, the desert rose and cacti are doing!! I’m learning about cacti - I’m really terrible at growing them - so to see these guys thrive is thrilling! This sweet desert rose was soooo bent when I got her, but she is slowly growing and straightening and the sweet new growth just makes me so happy!! My silver dragon has had 3 new leaves since winter and is also producing 3 new stems/babies and I’m soooo excited! AND I’ve also gotten 3 corms off of her and 2 have grown! I have the first leaf for both of them! I’m so excited! And the red secret alocasia is also producing leaves and seems happy! My trepidation is my leopard lily 🥺😩 she was quite leggy when I got her and then just kept getting taller and so to repot her and keep her upright, I needed her deeper in the soil, but then she started to suffocate and die - so to salvage, I cut her way back, buried her shallowly and am praying she will regrow… 🤞 any wisdom would be welcome!

why are my leaves doing this?? my leaves keep getting these yellow/ lighter green spots on them. unfortunately, i did have spider mites, but i took care of them. even my newest leaves are suffering. what’s going on??

Lost its roots?!? Okay.. today I was trying to prop my Silver dragon up bc it was in Lechuza Pon for at least 2 years and it literally must have been attached by one root unfortunately, but it popped off and was pretty much in my hands after that. For a while I’ve debated putting it into an Aeroid mix that I have my other alocasias in. For a while it’s been shooting off a lot of corms above the Lechuza Pon… so, now that it’s a couple years old with no roots, I have no idea what to do. Is it still able to be saved?! I’m currently growing an alocasia Melo corm for the first time so I’m aware of how they have to be grown from the start but I honestly don’t know if I can have it root again.. Thankfully it’s still green and looks okay given it’s situated.. thank you for any help! #SilverDragon #help #roots #AlocasiaAddicts

#AlocasiaScalprum After a rep, my leaves are turning under, like curving. What is the matter? Thanks I've watered the plant slightly But have seen no changes. #AlocasiaScalprum

My alocasia is turning yellow/brown. Please help! #Alocasia #yellowing #help She looked perfect when I bought her, and over the last few weeks she’s been getting more and more yellow/brown/dead spots on multiple leaves. I’ve already cut off one really bad leaf, but I’m not sure why this is happening. I’ve moved her so she’s getting more light, I held off watering in case it was overwatering, but it just keeps getting worse! 😭 Does anyone know why this might be happening?
