I think they are happy in their cabinet😃

Is that a corm forming on my little baby heterophylla?

(Also is this really a heterophylla? The stems look very different on most I’ve seen before but that’s what it was sold to me as)

Just wanted to share some pics of my dream plant! Literally the happiest plant I own (besides my pothos, which would be happy growing in a crack in the sidewalk). It hasn’t even finished pushing out one leaf and is already growing another!! I was a little nervous starting out with this plant but I’m so glad I picked it up.

I think my Frydek is growing its first flower! A.k.a., the plant that perpetually has three leaves and no more 😆

I got this for $10 because it had a mite infestation. I watched a YouTube video and used dish dawn soap to get rid of them. Almost 6 months later it’s pushed out 2 large beautiful leaves! Knowing alocasias are notoriously dramatic and the fact that I’ve killed 2 pothos does indeed boggle the mind!

Hi plant fam, did I underwater these plants? I’ve got them in a mini greenhouse set up and they were thriving until recently. It’s Autumn here but the weather hasn’t shifted drastically, but I have been a lot busier and watering way less so they have dried out a few times…

Out of the 9 corms I got from my Variegated Frydek that left me due to a heavy spider mites infestation (RIP), they almost all have been pushing out fully variegated leaves 🥲🙃

If you look at it right.

Black velvet putting out 3 blooms.

I changed my setup, fixed the issue of the light, and now my plants are all giving new leaves 😭🥰 my golden bone gives a new leaf just days after sprouting a very shiny one, and even my sulaweesi narrow is giving 2 leaves at the same time?? She does not fit in the little house tho, so I moved her with my nicolai’s for the time being. Stable temp, but lower humidity. Doesnt look like she minds? (My nicolai to the left is upset at me, but he is getting better.)

Please excuse my dirty windows, we have had some snow/rainstorms lately, and I’ve been too sick to even care 😂

Going to do a leca-flush within the next days, but I’m terrified I will upset them.

I just got this alocasia venom 2 weeks ago it has started to pop a new leaf but the stem has turned a darker purple. I am just wondering if this is normal or could it be light stress. or some other sort of stress

I’ve had 2 big, and dozens of small alocasias die on me recently, but this one is putting out two new leaves!

My black velvet is struggling and I need help. I’ve had it for about four years, and I don’t believe I’ve ever repotted, because, life! It’s been in chunky soil, watered when top was dry or more often plan was fully dried out. For most of its life. It actually lived in a not very bright, fairly humid but cool basement. I wouldn’t say it thrived down there, but it put out new leaves and it was doing OK. I moved about six months ago to an apartment with much more natural light, and it’s been more or less the same since then. I moved it recently to a small IKEA tabletop greenhouse set up that I just built, hoping to give it more humidity. It also lived under a grow light there, set up about a foot above the plant, and I ran a teensy USB humidifier a few times a week in there. I moved it to this spot because I noticed some leaf curling, and the soil in general seemed like it wasn’t drinking enough water. Since moving to the greenhouse all the leaves have curled up. It’s dropped several leaves and two others are pretty yellow. I treated it for pests about a month ago because I was worried about another plant in my collection. There’s almost no roots on the corms as you can see in the pics, so I’m suspecting root rot, and maybe also some leaf burn from being too close to the grow light? I’ve also read they are finicky adjusters, so maybe the extra humidity was too much?

How would you go about bringing this plant back to life? I’m going to put it in some water for the meantime as I suspect I need to propagate new roots before I can do anything else for it. Thanks for any help you can give!

Hello plant people! I have this baby alocasia I was gifted, and I would love some help identifying it so I can fine tune its care to help it thrive. it’s so little I’m not sure Google lense can accurately ID it. any knowledgeable alocasia peeps out there?

excuse my claw hand.

Mi Alocasia Poly está cada vez peor,le wuedsn dos hojas. Ya no sé qué más hacer.

Can someone please help me. How can I make this recover?
