OMG so beautiful, but I just told someone that all plants should have drainage
@Imissmydeaddog thank you so much. So for my alocasias this is the method that have worked best for me. I put them in a pot (usually a plastic cup) without any holes and I fill the bottom with lecca and then at the top I put a chuncky soil mix. I guess it has some drainage. Anyways this is how I can grow my alocasias without any trouble!
@peixe.pt oh I thought it had zero drainage
@Imissmydeaddog the pot does, i use the lecca as drainage, but the roots grow towards it, keeping the soil wet all the time.
@peixe.pt If it ain’t broke don’t fiddle with it! πŸ˜‚
Oh ok
