I saw Alocasia and clicked SO FAST!! I’ve fallen down the Alocasia rabbit hole the last month and I’ve added 9+ different varieties… My KopperT Canada beneficial mites just arrived today so I can’t wait to add them to my Alocasia’s and the rest of my collection! Your story of them and my story, are both shared on their Instagram story! I’m so excited to get them all added to my plants :)

[@wildfern]

Same ahhh I'm obsessed with them! And yay about the mites, that is awesome. They're saving my plants seriously lol!

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

@@wildfernI’ve seen you and a few other people talking so much about the mites lately, I finally had to place an order! I can’t wait to see the results! These thrips are driving me crazy 😅

[@IceSk8Princessa12]

What are the tags you have on the leaves?

[@beccandriani]

Alocasia dragon scale is just breathtaking. I used to only have the silver one but finally I purchased the regular green and the leaves are just unreal. It's like cartoon or something, just not real 🙃🙃 and yes, seeing yours truly motivates me to give my newly arrived dragon scale the best care it needs so that it can grow like yours too!

[@sandwichmaker98]

Same. My one leafed alo green dragon scale in the root ICU has the MOST gorgeous leaf I’ve ever ever seen.

[@Plantjournalentries]

If you finished the video and wanted to revisit the variegated beauties: 12:41 18:40 24:12 28:42

[@AbbiZika]

❤❤❤

[@babs1076]

It’s a dragon scale, I think ppl get it mixed up with the silver dragon which is silvery looking. The size of your baby!! Amazing!

[@diru97]

Hi Fern. I grow my variegated frydek in a self watering pot in pon. I tried various mediums and for me the best it's done in is definitely pon. I also hold the leaves up with bamboo sticks. I have found that doing this makes the leaves last longer since they are so big and heavy at this point. Love this video! I just added a few more alocasia to my wishlist because of it❤

[@katbattt]

I have serious alocasia envy, girl. Mine just keep rotting I'm so awful haha. Living vicariously through you and never trusting myself to buy another ever again 😂

[@lisaanglim9588]

I had someone gift me a pink dragon to keep alive after me aging the same thing. This has been a simple alocasia that gets a leaf and loses a leaf. Right now it has two beautiful leaves after losing the newest one. I’m hoping to be in the three leaf club. But I tried again. Pick something simple cheap and try again.

[@sandwichmaker98]

Try hydro methods :)) they often rot in soil and THRIVE in hydro like pon/leca

[@danielajohns6752]

Use semi hydroponics remove all organic material… I also kill alocasia until I changed 👍

[@PassioninmyVeins96]

I have had so much success having my alocasia frydek variagata in Lechuza pon and in a Lechuza pot. Definitely would recommend.

[@MissSyrinxie]

I love my Dragon Scale! She is a little bit more of an emerald green than your slightly bluey leaves. Such a gorgeous plant!

[@HerPlantPalette]

Love your collection. Alocasia are my favorite. I grow all of my alocasia with sphag moss in no drainage vessels. I just pop in some osmocote every 3 months and water with superthrive regularly. I keep a little layer of water at the bottom of the vase so they never dry out, and they seem to be super happy like that longterm plus I love seeing the roots.

[@plantwithroos]

The two I love the most are also the ones I struggle with the most- I've killed several of each already 😱🙄😭😭😭 and both look insane in your collection - dragon scale and jaclyn

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

I’m sure your frydek will come back!! My variegated Frydeks (I bought 3 during the summer) are in a couple different substrates and living in normal room conditions by my south facing balcony window. The small one was sent to me in a pon-type mixture so I left it in that mix and it’s thriving, and my 2 larger ones from a different shop are in a super chunky mix and also doing really well so far! They’re putting out new leaves, and taking forever to drop an old leaf, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps up! I’m honestly not sure how they’ve been thriving so well, probably because of how humid it’s been this summer. The humidity has been coming down in the last week though, so I have a feeling I’m about to see some declines in my collection as we move into fall

[@AnaC17]

Your Dragon scale is gorgeous! 😍 Mine is the same color as yours and was also sold to me as regular Dragon Scale. I think the color has to do with the kind of light it receives. I have 2 Variegated Frydeks - one in chunky mix and one in pon. They are both in high humidity + good light. They are both pretty happy but the one in pon is definitely growing faster ☺️

[@SirMopy]

if the light is too bright, you’ll get more green. it’s a silver dragon and not the regular green one.

[@stephanielopez8799]

I have my variegated frydek in pon and it’s been really liking it. It transferred super easily and has pushed out 2 leaves since transfer. For most of my Alocasia I usually put them in pon anyways since it makes it very low maintenance and I don’t have to worry about watering them as often. Also I have my black velvet in pon as well and it makes the world of difference for growing them.

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

Wow, that's the very 1st Alocasia Dragon Scale I have ever liked. That is gorgeous with very deep colouring. Oh I do potting mix with self watering all the time, it's great!! I also do clear pots with chunky perlite and potting mix directly on top, and a syringe that reaches from the bottom to the top of the soil, and I water through the syringe - works like a charm. Wow, I hadn't liked the Jaclyn until seeing yours!! That green frydek! 💚

[@georgieleaman5577]

Your skin is so flawless 😍

[@wildfern]

thank you 🥺 the camera & lighting blurs though lol!

[@charlottebron6376]

I think your NoID might be a alocasia clypeolata. The shape of some of the leaves look somewhat alike. So does the colouring. All of your alocasia look great! All of your dragonscale are just absolutely stunning!!

[@DominicSaggione]

I bought an alocasia poly from the depot. It was in a self watering pot and it grew, but died back to a stump. I repotted her and found a cloth plug suffocating to roots! I also found 5 corms inside! So now she’s repotted and has 2 beautiful leaves! I can’t wait to see it grow, and this video came right at the right time. Your collection is stunning! 😍😍

[@clearwaterbeachhomesearchm5957]

Off topic. Love your hair makeup. You look healthy happy and beautiful

[@kishenia]

My Frydek var has been going wild! I think the trick to her has always been keeping the sphagnum moss topper damp, it just seems to help my entire Alocasia collection in my Milsbo Tall thrive. I make my own soil. One of my fave Alocasia's currently is the Brancifolia. When the Brancifolia starts cycling leaves it gets the same patterning as the Jacklyn but on a smooth surface. I rarely enjoy an Alocasia cycling it's older leaves out but it's mesmerizing watching the Brancifolia and Jacklyn leaves die when the patterning becomes so apparent.

[@abbeyjoallred1966]

i grow all of my alocasias in no drainage, and pon. honestly works like a charm. ever since i switched to this set up i haven’t struggled with alocasia (minus spider mites)

[@Mandi_Hui]

Really love when you do each type of varieties of plants. The Hoya and Cacti are my top favourites. Alocasia’s i find they do great in pon in glass no drainage or lecca at the bottom and soil on top in non drainage works too. Since they like to be kept moist i find these substrates works best. Compared to just soil if stick with just soil make it more compact not too airy otherwise drys out too fast.

[@hesherette]

so pretty i love all of your alocasia!! i'm a big fan of the genus, but my planty coworkers at the nursey i used to work for a few years ago kept steering my noob self away from the begonias + alocasia i loved, saying they "weren't good for beginners". so i only got into them maybe 6 months ago, but my Zebrina, Sarian + Red Secret are THRIVING with huge leaves/ sizing up quickly/ no pest problems, so i think it's time for me to get some more, thanks for some new wishlist plants ;)

[@cherylj7460]

😱🤗 You’re in Canada! So you’re growing these indoors! Wow! That is impressive. Truly.

[@stineschwarck3428]

You should have a look at the Azlanii (has almost iridescent red veins), the Nebula (has almost blackish-green thick leathery leaves), the Lauterbachiana (also known as Purple sword), Cucculata (heart shaped leaves), Pink Dragon (green Leaves on pink stems), Tiny Dancer (Small droplet shaped leaves), Wentii (Big Green Leaves w. purple backs), Portodora (big ruffled leaves), Zarian (arrowshaped green leaves w. bright white veins) and Seudo Sanderiana (ruffled elongated leaves w. Purple backs) 🤗🪴 Just some of the alocasia in my collection - can't for the life of me grow the Dragon scale (they die/rot everytime i get one), so i'm envious og your specimen 😅

[@sydtheplantdoc]

I came to comment the nebula!

[@hesherette]

OMG the Azlanii tho, wow stunning! i hadn't seen most of the ones you mentioned + now i have many more wishlist plants lol thank you! the alocasia sarian is one of my favorite plants ever in my collection, mine has huge leaves/ petioles + it's just such a gorgeous, dramatic looking plant!

[@ilikeframboise]

I figured out my silver dragon and dragon scale! I grow them in a pot that is like 80% perlite and cactus soil. Mine like super drainage. Now I just check to water about once a week. Of course, I look at them at least once per hour to admire their beauty, though😂 I've had both for over a year and they've given me so many corms and new plants!

[@vicixxx2701]

I Love that you have a Zebrina now! They are really easy and size up so fast in my opinion, really fun and so beautiful!Definitely an underrated Alocasia…

[@georgieleaman5577]

My dragon scale is the same blueish colouring as you, some leaves are almost fully black too

[@wildfern]

omg amazing - they're so gorgeous like that 🖤

[@SirMopy]

it’s a silver dragon. i have one too. the regular dragon scale is really bright green and almost neon green.

[@crochetqueen6440]

I love this video already! I am only up to Dragon Scale, I just wanted to comment to say that my one is very similar in coloration to yours, and I believe that it's a light thing. When I have mine right under a grow light for a long time it gets much greener but it gets the darker, blue/grey look in lower light. I love it! All that to say I don't think it's a hybrid, just a light thing, and that maybe some are more prone to the grey colouring than others. But I definitely love that look

[@GardenWitchStudio]

That is definitely a Dragon Scale. Sometimes they really are that dark, especially when it's a more mature plant.

[@user-xw2mh1vp6d]

I have my varigated Frydek in Pon in a self watering pot with a wick. It's very full and lush and doesn't lose any leaves. My cuprea is also happy with the same set up. I'm waiting for my acclimated TC of varigated Bambinos to get here next week!!

[@totaal-ktkoota1355]

I click the video because your hair.. actually we need hair video, what you use, how you are caring for your hair, what is your routine , do you use supplements and vitamins... etc❤

[@melissazoeller6675]

I have the Zebrina Reticulata, and it pretty much stays in the 2-3 leaf club. It looks like ours are about the same age too, I got mine as a plug in July ‘23. I kept hearing about spider mite issues and I literally saw my first spider mites last week (red ones). I rinsed the plant leaves and stems 2x per day for 3 days and I haven’t seen anything since. I do check it daily for more signs of them. I know that a couple of days treatment really isn’t enough but I do keep looking. I also came across a video from Liqui-dirt and Aloha plant life for a natural spider mite control. It’s Bronners Castile soap (tea tree and peppermint), 70% rubbing alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide. Mix it up, put in pump sprayer and spray your plants. I ordered all the things I need and now I’m going to spray my plants. From what I understand, the tea tree, alcohol and peroxide kill soft bodied bugs on contact and the peppermint helps repel the bugs from returning. 🤷🏻‍♀ I’ll see if it works.

[@melissazoeller6675]

I’m editing to say it’s Dr Woods Castile soap, not Bronners.

[@Sahmantha40]

Wow girlie. The glow up is epic. I used to watch your videos years ago and just rediscovered you. You were always beautiful and I loved your style way back BUT HON-NEE! Whoa.

[@lilysdimension]

How you described the variegated dragon's scale is literally so realistic that how I felt 😫😍

[@lilysdimension]

The fact that plants that look like that can literally be alive is insane and the reason I love house plants 🫶

[@vicaraven916]

The NoID looks like a mix between a dragon scale and scalprum

[@turnernicholas269]

One thing I noticed all your alocasias have in common is how leggy they are. If you want some bushier/more compact growth, try potting in lechuza pon! They will def start keeping more leaves. Also, alocasias are extremely hungry, so make sure you fertilize often. Another benefit of pon is how nutrient rich it is, and alocasias love it :)

[@carolinebaines8735]

Fern, I have an acrylic stake in the pot with most of my Alocasia, but my Cuprea is insane without it! She's always tied up to keep her controlled.

[@serenitygardenaviary]

Crazy to say this, but your Black Velvet gives me hope. Love your Alocasia collection. I remember the Dragon Scale from a baby way back when. Your growlight tip helped me grow my Dragon Scale, though not as big yet.

[@penguinsforever1609]

Hi. Can you please address Alocasia dormancy in a future video? Your experience in growing them in different substrates? Propagation of cutting vs corm, which is better? Some people complain they can’t get more than 3 leaves at a time….huh? Thank you.

[@katherinenightingale2205]

LOVE alocasia!! Fern, you neeeed an Azlanii! Seriously, they're so unique and stunning. And more ravishing in RL than in pictures. My dragon scale is the same color as yours, btw.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I love my azlanii, but she’s def my most difficult alocasia. Do you have tips? I feel like she doesn’t want to size up. I know some alocasia stay smaller and more compact, and I think that might be the case. Tips?

[@SirMopy]

azlanii will be smaller. always. like the black velvet. they don’t get large.

[@Ksnamaste]

You look so cute now that your hairs getting longer. I love the look❤ I’m loving alocasia now that I’m an avid Pon user but I’m super paranoid about spider mites. I’m checking them everyday and spraying once a week

[@i.foliage]

I used to say that I’d never own alocasia and now I have 12 varieties 😂 Loved the video. All my alocasia including variegated Frydek are in a mix of 50% cacti mix, 25% orchid bark and 25% fern fibre and love life in it. Mine live in the bathroom under a grow light.

[@cherylj7460]

Wow! Lovely Dragon Scale specimen!

[@joelvynermusic]

ur hair looks good like that it makes ur eyes pop as well i know not plant related but i just wanted to say that

[@plantwithroos]

Omggg yeessss yours are so so pretty!!

[@kristiemowry3267]

I think all Alocasia just need consistent watering whatever they are potted in. That is why pon etc works so well with them. They also need warmth to keep from dropping leaves and going dormant. My house gets 65F in the winter, and it is a struggle to keep them going.

[@hesherette]

yes i feed + water my alocasia more heavily than most of my other plants + wow they are getting so huge + happy! this is good to know thank you, my alocasia are thriving outside here in SoCal, but I will be cautious to monitor the temps + bring them in when it gets a little colder here. their leaves are so large, i'd hate to lose them!

[@katemerla7602]

I grow all my alocasia in pon now (including my Frydek), no more leaf cycling, they love their lives!

[@jordangreen590]

My variegated frydek is in about 80% humidity in my grow tent, receiving high light from a lamp for Like 13 hours on and low light for the rest of the time. It's pretty little (baby corm with three leaves) so I am still rooting it in a plastic cup with perlite, moss, and leca. Yours looks great though! Just grow it like your green one.

[@patriciajackson5414]

I’ve found that alocasias don’t like being in water too long. I’m loving your alocasia collection, it is my favorite to collect as well.

[@SirMopy]

they like it. i have all mine in PON and semi hydro with self watering pots. easier to take care of and less pests

[@mld5368]

Love this video which I must have missed when it was first out. Truly helpful and expiring. I just got a baby Silver Dragon and love it and about 2 years ago I purchased one that was labeled as a pink princess? It had a very cool stems and while the main plant is currently just a stump I have several corms that are now maturing. Love all your videos.

[@tagalong1560]

I love your dragon scales!! It's so black and green at the same time. If you even want to split them and sell them please let me know. I'm here for all of it 😊😊

[@mollyrosas4867]

I used a chunky mix for my frydek and it partially rotted. Then I tried just plain perlite and it did so wonderfully! It was growing roots so fast that they were coming out of the top. I just had it in a plastic cup with no drainage and it loved it honestly. Then I messed up and put it in leca which I was excited about. And it completely rotted! All of the leaves fell off and it had no roots, it was just a stump. But I have it in water and it’s growing roots again so I’m just going to keep it in chunky perlite once it starts growing leaves again. Alocasia just love perlite. My neighbor was having trouble growing hers which was a stump as well so I recommended perlite and it started growing for her!

[@elizabethlacey7708]

Just ordered my beneficial mites!!! Can't wait to get them!! Have a great week!!! ❤❤❤ your channel

Collection videos are so satisfying. This video is so satisfying. Definitely need more collection videos by genus.

I grow my v frydek in pon and it loves it. It had 4 beautiful leaves. It has gone a bit dormant at the moment as my apartment was close to 80 in the summer and is now 65-67 but the corm and roots are still great so I'm not too concerned.

[@tdillonaniawhitaker1200]

You should get a alocisia scalprum it is my favorite alocisia in my collection. I love the darkness and length of the leafs ,so beautiful.

[@Tamolwv]

My cuprea is re-growing from a corm too. Love the 3rd leaf, it was way bigger the other. So excited.

[@Jbrown99th]

My variegated Frydek loves lechuza pon, It really has jst taken off! Im not the best when it comes to keeping up with watering, so being able to essentially set it and forget kinda is a added bonus. Plus having it in a organic medium or soilless one cuts down on it being a pest magnet.

[@wildfern]

I think I’m going to go for pon for it! Thank you 🙏

[@KC-gj4bi]

My alocasia water props transition into semi Hydro (Pon) seamlessly, also from stratum to pon , happiest plants I own ❤

Wow, that Olani is a new one for me, truly a stunner. That noID is gorgeous! Glad you might’ve found out what it is. Reminds me a bit of a chantrieri, which is 10/10 can recommend. Your CUPREA. Oh my GOSH! Gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, she is the moment. Mine does the same thing, spreads out (and she really likes to try and crawl 🤔 which seems like an instinctual thing for it) Thank you for this collection, alocasia are my faves! Your collection is amazing, and you are a fantastic planty parent and a planty Queen :) A fun collection might be oldest to youngest-well, maybe not the whooooole collection, but some of your oldest plants?

[@lawanacourtney6463]

I would be interested to hear you outlook on Hilo Beauty.I have seen that it has been classified as both a Alocasia and Colocasia but i figured putting this comment in the Alocasia video section would work best.Although I am no expert at growing Alocasias and own a grand total of two(the other is a black velevet corm) they are very beautiful plants.The only problem tgat i have noticed that may be a common problems with Alocasia is that the leaves bend to the point that the crease and die.I water it correctly but i think it prefers greenhouse conditions which i dont have yet😅.I hope you find interest in Hilo Beauty though, a very beautiful plant.

[@teresavelazquez359]

You have a fabulous collection. Look up the nycteris and longiloba purple. I want to at the Nycteris to my collection

[@hollya2511]

I bought 2var. frydeks at the same time, one went in pon right away and the other in stayed in soil and were both in my milsbo and the one in pon immediately sized up and have had to pot up already. The one I left in soil was dropping leaves. I repotted it in pon and I need to size it up already.

[@alexsiberry4775]

The stingray, tiny dancer and wentii do best for me. Our Tasmanian winter reduced the rest to a garden of dormant corms in perlite. My favourite has to be Azlanii.

Also, I’m not sure if you’ve seen the Alocasia Amazonica they are so striking, and they have a beautiful shine to them definitely one of the favorites in my collection!

[@a7xxlove7]

I'm so jealous of your dragon scale being so lush! I have one but it's still young and only has two leaves. It's one of my absolute favorites though! Also I have had such bad luck with my frydek. It just got spider miltes, and before that It was just dropping leaves. The variegated one is gorgeous, but I'm scared I'd have similar issues and it wouldn't be worth it.

I loooove the color of the new leaves on the Dragon Scale. Not a huge fan of the gray for myself, But your plant is beautiful.

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

Your Dragon Scale is truly wonderful. Alocasia Silver Dragon is super cool - very beautiful, easy going and resilient (even when there is pest havoc around her). It´s simply the best plant ever 😀I think you might also like Alocasia Azlanii (shiny purple - simply unbelievable) and Ninja (Reginula hybrid - small, easy going, very pretty). Alocasias are awesome - since I got my first Alocasia Silver Dragon, I have an alocasia fever/obsession 😀

[@moominsean]

My variegated Frydek is a princess. If I don't water it every 4-5 days it droops low. I'm heading out of town for a couple weeks and it's the only plant I'm going to have a neighbor water because I know it will die otherwise.

[@loes6839]

Used to really struggle with Alocasia, but since switching them to lechuza pon, they're not dramatic at all anymore. I'm a chronic underwaterer so pon is great because I only have to water like once a week to 10 days 😂

[@AlysiaTribeca]

I have my Alocasia Black Velvet like RIGHT in my west facing window and it's so bushy. I think that one specifically needs a ton more light than people think. The mother plant of that one I have in an East window and it's not growing really at all, it's been stuck with 2 leaves for almost a year and not even because new ones grew and old ones died

I love all the alocasias! I have been afraid to try them because when I read about them, they seemed to be difficult for many people. Now I want to give it a try. I don't have and Ikea cabinet greenhouse. Any suggestions? Maybe use a propagation box? Or is it really needed? I would love to learn more about them from you. I'm going to watch 2 of your older videos on them now. Thank you for another great video!

You don’t need a cabinet to grow any of these! I think light, watering, & fertilizer is more important than humidity for them honestly :)

I have a Alocasia frydek and it’s doing amazing in PON.

The Jacklyn even looks like there is a new leaf in the way! And the Jacklyn of the jungle haven looks similar to yours

Scalprum! You need a Scalprum! But all the ones you have are gorgeous 😍

Hope your frydek makes a comeback. I still have mine in the substrate it came with (Planthaven Toronto). It’s doing well so far, 4 leaves still. So scared to repot it 😅

Hello there! I would love you to show how you grow the corms! I would love to get as good as you are with your plants! I love watching your videos! Thank you so much!

I was just going to say that totally looks like the Puncak Borneensis.
