How cold does it get in the shed at night and do you have to run a heater? I have a shed and was thinking about something similar to overwinter plants over the winter.

@plntfriends Ай бұрын

Yes you may have to run a heater depending on your zone. I need to.

@thanostsarbos1197 2 ай бұрын

What alocatia is that ? Can you give the full name ? Also when you say to keep the soil moist, what exactly do you mean ? Since the roots are at the bottom of the pot how does keeping it moist not cause root rot ? Thanks

@plntfriends 24 күн бұрын

I would allow well draining soil with moss and bottom water. The soil should not get crunchy, always a bit spongy.

Just bought an Alocasia and the edges of the leaves are starting to wrinkle. Is this normal? I live in Florida and the temperature is always around 75f in my apartment with the AC on. I also put the plant close to my window. Thank yoj

@plntfriends 3 ай бұрын

75f should be fine. The direct sunlight might cause some burning to the leaves though, they don’t like direct light in my experience unless very hardened to it over time. Also make sure not staying soggy!

When we bought it there were 8. There are two plants in one pot. Now there are only 5 leaves left. I will say, the plant does look healthy otherwise. The 5 remaining leaves stand very tall. Whereas the other that have died have all hung very low since we bought it.

I use honey as a basic fertilizer for all my plants It works well

@plntfriends 6 ай бұрын

Interesting. Generally isn’t recommended to be used as a fertilizer and it has low nutrient contents compared to the high level of sugar that it is comprised of. Risk of fungus and pests is greatly increased with a sugar rich environment. Hopefully your success continues!

Used honey once because people were saying use it as a rooting hormone. Had ants so bad I had to take my plant outside. Lucky it was raining and I just let the rain wash it off. Never again.

Great video -- and I just subscribed to your channel! But one question: why did you say at the start that you thought the greenhouse would be good for 3-4 years? Why wouldn't it last longer? I have a 16x8 shed in my backyard that I would LOVE to convert to a greenhouse, but not if it's only going to last a few years! Anyway, thanks for a really nice video! :)

@plntfriends 8 ай бұрын

Mine is still going great. I believe I said that because our shed was already fairly old and not in the best condition as it was. I didn’t really repair or improve the shed exterior where I left it as shed. I could probably spend a bit of money on shingles and ply wood to revamp it. Maybe that will come in a video next year 😂. Mine has actually lasted better than I anticipated.

@thedevo01 9 ай бұрын

Dear viewers of this video. There are a few key details that were forgotten here: Because Alocasias are super fussy, you need additional things not shown in this video: - You MUST make a 50-50 mix of soil and perlite for maximum drainage. DO NOT plant them just straight into the soil as in the video. - For EVERY PLANTER you must place a layer of rocks (of 3-5cm or 1-2 inches) on the bottom to create a "buffer" for the water to separate from the roots of the plant. Even if the pot has drainage holes, yes, because if you don't, the soil substrate can clog the drainage holes and make it harder for. theatre to leak out. - They are VERY hungry plants that, when fed (fertilized) correctly, keep shooting new leaves like there's no tomorrow.

@plntfriends 9 ай бұрын

I don’t find them all that fussy, maybe I’m lucky. Having rocks in the bottoms can cause the roots to sit in water promoting rot depending on circumstances.

Hi thanks for the video. Quick question. I'm pretty new to plants and I have just bought my first Alocasia. Do I have to replant it in a bigger pot like what you have just done or leave it in the small original pot. Sorry for sounding silly but I have no clue 😅

@plntfriends Жыл бұрын

Good morning, Not a silly question at all! You can definitely leave it in a small pot, but that will somewhat limit the size it will grow, and you might find yourself watering quite often. If you do want to pot up, a good way to check when it’s time is by letting the soil dry a bit, and removing the plant/roots/soil/ from the pot to check how root bound it is. If rootbound it is time. Much love! Ty

Hi there! I found you cause my little elephant ear that I’ve had for about 6 months is dying suddenly. I’m new to plants, but I watched your video. I think mine started dying after I moved it from a central location to a window location a few weeks ago. (Perhaps too much sun and not enough water?)Can you help me nurse it back to life? Will it recover after main leaves are brown and withered? It’s had no new foliage since I moved it. 😢

@plntfriends 11 ай бұрын

It should recover if you keep the soil slightly moist but not wet. It will sprout another shoot from the root corm. Alocasias like to stay slightly moist and do not like direct sunlight that much. I would move it back from the window a bit and give it time. Maybe it will have already recovered now?
