@DesertGreen thanks!!! It’s just fluval stratum. I know most people do a stratum/perlite mix but I bought a frydek fully rooted in stratum, so I gave it a go and added a humidity dome 🙌🏾🙌🏾
@DesertGreen hehe! No worries, fluval stratum is a volcanic soil substrate typically used in aquariums but also used for propagating plants. Found a bag on Amazon for under $15.
Aww such a pretty baby plant. Congrats on succesfully growing it!
Oh alocasias and their tendency to eat their leaves, at least they're pretty🥹 I have a beatiful lauterbachniana that was bushy for a long long time. Then it got infested with spidermites, got a heavy repot and hosing off and her leaf count dropped to 2-3 per plant in the pot 🥲

Oh gosh, yeah mites and thrips terrify me. I had a brief scare with thrips during summer, it was a bit colder so their population wasn't bad, so none of my plants got infested by them really. Some summers can be an itchy hell due to how many of them can be flying around, doesn't really help that I live next to corn and wheat fields. Literally, next to my fence I could reach an ear of corn (it's a hard variety, not good for eating sadly) and other fence is wheat. Funny thing is, some wheat got into my garden, lol.
But I forgot to mention, the lauterbachniana has since put out smaller and slightly deformed leaves. So she should be on track to recovering well. Last time she put out deformed leaves, she got two times bigger and bushier without any loss ☺️
