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?
@AllureAndInk5 күн бұрын
The smaller one is supposed to be a purpley without a lot of light and the other a Polly. But tbh I'd not bet one which is wish, super similar until you blast them with all the light

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?
@AllureAndInk5 күн бұрын
I'd recommend the Pon. For sure. I just lift them from the stratum and don't touch the roots. Place it in the pot And cover it with the Pon, doing my best to not crush the roots together. Leca dried up a little too fast if you miss a watering. Particularly the Borneo Alocasia really need to not get bone dry.

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.
@AllureAndInk5 күн бұрын
🧡🧡Thank you for watching! I was able to get a Scalprum, super excited to see it grow. Interesting about the winter pink dragon. Could it be that the AC not running increases the air moisture? That happens to me, we go to 60-65% during winter because nothing is running the AC.
how are your bagindas doing now? do you find that they do better in soil??

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

I seeded the spores and for a second it looked like something was happening, but now it doesn't haha. SUPER SUPER SLOW grower! If you can invest in a big pot of oil fern that's a better bang than trying to grow a small one. I keep seeing some really cool ones but not the Thai one! I think I saw a kiwi one for sale in a random supermarket, but it looked so sick, I passed! I think I've gotten 50% of that list so far, but not all have been successful haha

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.

Rey! Thank you so much for your commitment! It's great to learn more from other Alocasia growers! I'm writing down the flying squid/ nebula watering tips!

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

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!
