Thank you so much #gregteam! This is so beautiful! #GregTurnsTwo
Here she is…
I am so shocked, this was packaged so well and is perfect! 👌🏼
I haven’t had much luck with online plant shopping or with #thesill for that matter, but this was just PERFECT!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also… this is my first “non-basic plant” so any tips are very welcome!!

@sarahsalith 😂 just tell me if it is on the same level as my calathea orbifolia and then I’ll know for sure that I’ll ruin it! 😮💨
@Shaubplantshack back in March, the Greg app was officially two years old! The first line of code for Greg was written on March 20, 2020. So as a birthday fun, we had a #GregTurnsTwo contest to see who could post the best pictures. 😁 You can see all the pictures tagged under that name. The top 10 winners got gift cards for PLANTS!!
@babyfiretiger13 I know Alocasia is prone to spider mites... Make sure you don't over water! They are dramatic! I tried saving one that was completely over watered from Lowes it didn't make it but I saved the corms and those seem to be doing well.
Keep it in bright indirect light
Keep it in bright indirect light
@melodey I tend to underwater and water *mostly* all of my plants when the soil is dry with the exception of my calathea, coffee plant and bird of paradise. Is that okay? To let it dry out before thoroughly watering? And does she need a humidifier? (Hopefully not lol) Should I mist to keep spider mites away?
@babyfiretiger13 definitely do not let it completely dry out before watering. You don’t need to mist her and she does not need a humidifier.
@melaza do you use a moisture meter? Or do you just let the first couple of inches dry out? I suck at keeping soil moist! That’s what I’ve been reading to do also I see on some sites 60-70% humidity and on others that they are doing fine without a humidifier. She is going to have some crispy edges if that’s the case! Humidity where she will be at is about 45-50% on a normal day. I have a humidifier for my calathea but I am not consistent with it lol
@melaza it actually did come covered in sphagnum moss and I was contemplating removing it but it was pretty stuck on lol I’ll leave it on and see if your method works. I checked the soil with my moisture meter and it was still pretty moist so I’ll keep an eye on it since I don’t know what it looks or feels like when it’s wet/dry yet. Thanks so much for your helpful insight! 😊🙏🏼💕
Beautiful new guy🪴!! I don’t find my Polly to be high maintenance at all. I follow the Greg watering schedule, keep him in very bright indirect light, and so far so good. I don’t group my alocasia with other plants to avoid transferring pests or whatever. And that works because he’s so handsome all on his own! 🤴
@MariansOasis thanks so much for that reassurance! 🥰🥰🥰 Can your guy talk to my guy about the maintenance thing?! lol I don’t do high maintenance, I’m very, very bad at it! 😂
@babyfiretiger13 lol we should get the boys in touch! I gave him the name “Moose” because it sounded so strong 💪 🤣
@MariansOasis I would say strong is super fitting! This thing was crumpled up in plastic and i for sure thought it would be ruined, but once I took it out… voila!! Big, strong leaves! 💪🏼 🍃 I haven’t named mine yet so until then I let Greg pick a random name 🧐
@karlv93 honestly I had very low expectations and was contemplating not even getting a plant from them and just some potting soil or a new pot, but I was like hey what the heck let’s try again! This was the plant out of the box and i was already like 🤦🏻♀️ and then I unpackaged it fully and then 🤩🤩🤩!!
@leafmealone247 thank you! ☺️ it really is! I hope I do it justice!! Please, just don’t ask my calathea orbifolia if I’m a good plant mom! 🤫
@user57179bb0 thank you! 😊 Yea I was pleasantly shocked maglev when I received it! I’ve mostly seen them with 3-4 leaves at best. Now the thing is dripping a couple red drops! Have you ever experienced that?
