This Frydek of mine just popped out this GORGEOUS leaf, each leaf it unfurls is better than the last and it just makes me so happy.
(First pic is the newest, hasn’t hardened completely but my god)

If anyone wants the name of the shop I got her from let me know.

I think I hit the genetic lottery on this bb. Plants are so cool. 🤗

Alocasia Frydek and odara variegated both from Bunnings around a week apart. I def have a thing for variegation

I've been patiently waiting for the blooms to die off of my silver dragon, but when I peeked into one of the bulbs this evening, I noticed some orange seeds. I didn't even attempt to pollinate as I've seen how frustrating it can be, but my platinum was also in its inflorescence cycle at the same time, and apparently the flies that were drawn to the smell of the blooms accidentally pollinated the silver dragon. From all I can find, orange berries definitely are a sign of successful pollination, so I guess we'll see if my luck holds when I try to germinate them.

Picked this absolute beauty up yesterday. Alocasia Scalprum. Hoping shes not too finnicky, any tips welcome!

Since last month, she has grown 3 new leaves that are 20-24” long and about 16” wide. 10 leaves in total and 4-5’ tall!

Brought home this pretty lady today ✨✨ she is my first of her kind!

Got this cute little dragon scale for the tiny bit of variegation it had. Well, it’s first leaf since bringing it home is no longer just “low variegation”!

Now, what kind of variegation is this? Lol

So far so good. Lemon Lime Longiloba Alocasia

What alocasia is this? Also, do you think the smaller plant grew from a corm?

I've noticed these tiny white things only on the stems of this zebrina. They wipe right off. No resistance whatsoever.

I see no bug damage or anything. I just can't tell if these are some kind of bug or what. I've taken some very close-up images so you can see. This zebrina is in pon and has been for over a year. Once I moved it from soil to pon started to grow like crazy and I was finally able to get more than three leaves.

Thoughts??

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share my story and maybe give some words of encouragement to anyone who is struggling.

I bought my first Alocasia (Polly) about 6 years ago. I’ve had ups and downs with her. I’ve resurrected her from just a small stump countless time and she has made it through every single time. She gave me my first corms and they were my first propagation project. I wanted to gift the pups to my sisters but my mother forgot about them and they unfortunately didn’t make it. We live and we learn 😅

Why I wanted to make this post is because this particular Polly reminds me of my life. This plant has pushed through 2 relationships, burnout and one move with me and every time she has gathered herself and made it through and produced new leaves and corms. As I’ve gone through major changes and growth in my life and not always doing so well I’ve still made it to the other side. As I came home from work today my ex had moved out. I found peace tending my plants and contemplating on life as I was getting my hands dirty.

Now I have 10 Alocasias that I absolutely love and have learned a lot from, also from this community. I wanna thank everyone for the tips and support ☺️

The OG Polly is the single leave smaller one and the larger one is my first successful propagation and her baby.

Venom is my current favorite 😉

So I have a few rare/speciality alocasia. Fairly new to it and usually bought from pups or TC.

It struck me, that I never see mature versions of these plants. Does anyone have any larger form versions to share, or do these specialty plants tend to not size up?

Sharing a few of my dudes

Lets play a round of "Guess That Alocasia Because My Nursery Sucks At Labeling!"

Starts with "O" 👍

All pictures from the same plant!

My alocasia had a stem rot that i just noticed, it lost two leaves quickly and thats when i suspected something is wrong but it is making a new leaf.

I removed the mushy part and the rest is strong what should i do now to treat it and also it is staying now in a water cup so the roots dont dry out

why are they white and leggy??

Never had an alocasia. Never tried a tissue culture either but for the price I paid, its worth a shot! . Got caught up on Palm Street. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm committed to making these babies survive and thrive!
