About Alocasia odora 'Albo'
Alocasias, commonly known as Elephant Ears, are some of the most common houseplants although their leaves can reach enormous sizes when grown outdoors! 🐘 They typically only support a few leaves at a time (more, when they get more sun!) so don't be concerned if you see an old leaf begin to retire after a new one emerges. They grow out of underground corms which are similar to bulbs, so next time you repot keep an eye out for baby Alocasias! They contain calcium oxalate crystals so be sure to keep them out of reach if you have children or pets! ⚠️

I got 4 new house plant babies yesterday while at a plant nursery and I’m so excited to watch them grow! I’ve already repotted them so they have more room and I always start my new plants off with fresh soil. Neon Pothos, Zebra plant, polka dot plant, and an Alocasia Dragon Scale plant baby (one of my dream plants😍). 🪴

She has died and moved on to a better place. I’m sad I don’t like anything dying. I’m that person that apologizes to my plants if i running into it or something🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😆

Arm dropped after new leaf grew Is this from too much humidity? The arm of the smaller leaf just bent in 2 days although i gained a new leaf just last week, which was Growing over 2 weeks.

I don’t know what wrong’s with my #BlackVelvetAlocasia I changed pots the other day, but nothing else has changed. Indoors, no direct sunlight, east-facing window, and the leaves are no longer taut. 🙁 I don’t see a sign of pests…am I overwatering? Underwatering? Any help is greatly appreciated! 🌱🪴💚

Droopy Leaves 😭 Hi everyone! I’m new here so not really sure how this works! Anyway, I brought home a few days ago my new #AlocasiaFrydek and the leaves started getting droopy and facing down all of a sudden, I did repot it after this started happening but the situation doesn’t seem to be changing. Despite this the plant is making a new leaf, idk of the two things could be somehow correlated!

Pests? I’ve noticed some holes in the leaves of my Yucatán Princess. I haven’t had her long and she dropped two leaves a few days ago. The nursery had warned me that she probably would but now I’m noticing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

So one of Casi’s leaves is turning yellow. Why is that??

my alocasia red secret is struggling. Help!! idk what i’m doing wrong but she started wilting a few days after i brought her home. Only had her for a little while, watered twice (first time bottom watered and lost two leaves so im only top watering my alocasia henceforth) both times i gave her about 1/2 cup and she drank about half of that. 2nd watering was today. she sits on a table feet away from an east facing window. #alocasiaredsecret #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #AlocasiaCupreaRedSecret

Alocasia Advice? So my Dragon Scale has put out a new leaf, but one of the 2 it had is dying, and all 3 leaves are drooping. My question is, what can I do to help my dragon out? Currently, he’s getting about 3 hrs of direct morning sun, and bright indirect light the rest of the day. I let him dry out some between waterings, and I fertilize sparingly. Any suggestions are appreciated!!! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #AlocasiaAddicts #DragonScaleAlocasia #PlantRX #NewLeafAlert #FreshLeafFriday
