I, too, feel victimized by Alocasia Nebula!!

Where do you get your cover pots? Love your video!

love the cat

Awesome video, loved it as always ❤ What is the difference between the plants at 27:10? Is the left one a true Amazonica and the right one is a Polly?

New subscriber!! I love Alocasia, yours are very beautiful!! I just did a video of my Alocasia collection (mostly starters) and I want mine to get as lush as yours!!! Do you think they do better in leca or pon instead of a chunky aroid mix? All of mine are currently in fluval stratrum, I want to transition them to pon. Any suggestions?

You need a scalpum. Mine is a good grower and so unique. I also have the purple cloak which grows those to long stems that I really don't like. I also have a pink dragon which held onto all its leaves over winter then come Spring and it lost them. Now it only has 3. Anyway, I will always watch your content because I think you are very honest about your experience with Alocasia and not many utubers talk about them.

What Alocasia should I buy next?? Comment below!

Very informative vid!

Beautiful

Wowww

Cantik banget bunganya

Saya sangat suka bunga bunga anda,sayang tidak ada di Indonesia

Halo from Indonesian

I have a philodendron Ragosum.. I hope i spelled it right aka pigskin. I'm from Oriental NC

Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento saludos desde ciudad de México podrías traducir al español Gracias

Coool look at all those spores on the blue oil fern leaf!! Your old wish list is my current one lol We’ve got a lot of those caladiums here in our local nursery in Canada for about 35$ cad for a 6 inch pot I’m looking for the kiwi cordyline too, I’ve got the red cause I wanted every plant we saw in Hawaii at home, and they were everywhere, but def want a kiwi!!! Stunning!! They need a lot of light, direct sun if possible

15:16 polite recommendation can you not speak when you have a video that you’re speaking, it’s confusing lol.

I heard the Cupreas leaves will bend down to get away from strong light, I’ve pulled mine out of the window, let’s see Edit:then you said it lol I’ll stick with the normal Cuprea, it blows my mind every day, I don’t need “more” plus some of those variegated Alocasias look a bit sickly to me personally. I prefer green versions of a lot of my plants minus a few albos I have ;) the white variegation is definitely a bonus to me I adore my Sinuata too, only ever get 3-4 leaves but it produces quite a few inflos too…

black contrass....❤ ❤palestine...free pray and frends..

Micans is one of my absolute favorites. No matter how many rare plants I get, Micans stays at the top of my favorites

Please do!! I need to know the next steps with mine, would love to see how yours does! I put moss on the top of my chunky soil and my Cuprea exploded! It’s almost as big as yours now! Exciting!

Looks good, and probably produces lots of sticky juices to trap the victims, right? 😜

I like the real one better, tbh 😉

When that happens I just say the Alocasia wanted to meet God and couldn’t wait for me to send it… so it sent itself 🤣 🙏🏼

I also used to struggle with Flying squid, Nebula, Infernalis, and Silver dragon but the following are what I did to make each of them thriving very well now: Of all 30+ Alocasia species, Flying squid and Nebula are on the opposite spectrum of watering requirement. Flying squid requires most often watering and Nebula least often. With same potting medium (coco chips), Indirect sun light condition (300-500 FC 6-8 hrs), temp 28-34 degree Celsius, humidity of 60-80, in outdoor condition with low wind, I thoroughly water Flying squid every day and Nebula thorough watering every 3-4 days with light misting on top everyday. For Infernalis, the same potting medium, temp, wind, and humidity conditions as the above apply but I put it in the location exposed to 3-4 hrs direct sunlight (2000 FC+) and water thoroughly every day or two. I totally agree that Infernalis is least resilience. If you leave it dry out between watering even a tiny bit too long, it would drop all leaves and die. For Silver dragon, I use chunky aroid mix (Orchid bark, pumice, vermiculite, perrite) with sphagnum moss covering the top layer of the potting medium and cover 1-2 inches of the stem. Light 500-1000 FC 6-8 hrs, same temp, wind and humidity as above. This potting mix and sphagnum moss technique (with the use of small pot to allow some root bound) also work very well with my other Alocasia species.

magic alocasian..❤ love palestine.....strong and religiost

I add systemic granules to the top of my pole, under my watering cup, (if I’ve already made the pole) seems to really help I’m with you, I can appreciate people doing things “their way” but the same things don’t work for everyone, I love seeing all the different ways moss poles can be made and all this time I’ve been waiting for one style to hit home for my care environment, just found it! Thanks for not being like so many others and doing something different ❤ I’m excited to see how you use Saran Wrap, I had just started my Amydrium med silver on one and wrapped Saran around the node I wanted to attach, I went on holiday, it rotted right at that spot, I had to restart the plant

I had my Cuprea in a chunky mix in terracotta, obvs not perfect, I’d grow a leaf, one would die, I had 3 leaves tops at a time, UNTIL… I put sphagnum moss on top of the soil, I water it when the moss dries now and she’s bushing out and giving me leaves the size of my head now! The pots the Heterophyllas are in, where’d you get those?

I’m over the Pink Princess. Mines mostly burgundy with a couple splashes, grows weird, meh. Never heard of the orange princess!! I’m a huge fan of orange plants! Honestly my white wizard is astonishing to me, every leaf perfectly variegated, def my fav, I don’t need all of them, I’m happy with my Wizard

I think I’d try putting that Mamei end that’s growing up, onto a moss pole, see if that works I wanted to see what the fuss was about so I picked up a Gloriosum, realizing after I’ve got 2 in the pot growing away from each other, let’s see if I can split them and have them crawling in the same direction later or if they’ll be vining out to each side, not sure how I’ll manage the pot situation then! Lol First time watching your vids, you’re very thorough, that’s fab thanks 🙏 for sharing! ❤

Alocasia has it's own head .....love same postion....hiii''''sssss from egypt

Beautiful plants. ❤🎉😂😂

You have missed sinuata

From experience the cuprea can get pretty big the leaves get ALOT bigger than yours is so far, my leaves on mine are about triple the size of

I only have two alocasias. My Silver dragon is doing very well and it is my favorite. My other alocasia is my Stingray. It is giving me yet another leaf. I really like this plant a lot. But I am not sure if I want anyone alocasias. I found your video helpful. Thank you.

Beautiful 😍

Just got mine infernalis for a relatively bargain price roughly 60 RMb/10 dollars. Still yet to bother the root/pot and kept it in its original small pot with densely packed peatn moss. I do wonder if his plant is a low light preference due to black/redish leaf

Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate your experimental approaches and the information that derives from your trials and tribulations. Very useful. Plus your delivery is quite entertaining. I know I've thrown just as much if not more 'side-eye shade' to most of my Alocasias. In general I've accepted that this genus doesn't want to be my friend. But they're just so damn cute (especially baby cormlings) that it's nearly impossible to resist hoarding them.

Interesting concept. My moss poles have the mesh and the plastic inverted. .. more plastic lining and less mesh. It keeps it moist longer.

Loved this video, so useful. I'm currently struggling with both Dragon scale and Silver dragon as they did not liked the transfer to pon very much. But my Ninja and Melo loved it.

Beautiful your collection! The Melo in my conditions loves light around 700’s fc and I fertilize every time I water it. The corm that was in the soil grows so much slower than the mother plant, my guess is because it’s still a baby. The mother plant grows a leaf a month (more or less) except when flowering. It is in ambient humidity. Hope it helps!

Can you please share the pot-in-pot self watering pots you have. Looks like a deli container + inner pots but I can't tell what the inner pots are. If you can share Amazon links, that would be great. Looks like you have a good set of pots that fit well together.
