How I Grew My Alocasia Jacklyn BIG In Just 1 Year 💚 Alocasia Jacklyn Care Tips + Tricks

[@cecemelpastoor]

I love the new format where you show tips on screen while still talking. It is not interupting the video as it did before (with the text full screen and you reading it). Keep it up! Love your videos!!!

[@florance17]

I agree info on the screen is great, in my opinion the viewing experience would greatly profit from a bit more structure though (chapter marks).

[@ingrida1121]

this plant name is Alocasia tandurusa. Jacklyn is the name of a woman that poached the plant and started selling it.

[@RubenvanKuik]

iirc it was recently officially registered as Tandurusa.

[@daisywrabbit]

🦌🌿🦌🌿🦌 Tandurusa originates from the Indonesian 'Tanduk Rusa' meaning deer antlers, a reference to the heavily lobed antler shape the leaves take on as the plant matures.

[@tessie7e777]

After watching a documentary on this plant recently, it isn’t clear that the woman actually poached her first specimens, as they were being harvested and sold in a nearby town already. However, one does need to be concerned nowadays to get a plant that was either propagated from a legally imported plant or to ensure the import was not harvested from a protected region. As in many cases, poaching often is performed by the indigent who are just trying to earn a living, so we need to be very careful our buying habits do not encourage it. All of that said, yup, Tandurusa is the proper name and this is absolutely a gorgeous plant.

[@ingrida1121]

@@tessie7e777 Yeah, from what I have read, the lady is very sketchy, and she constantly contradicts herself on the origins of the plants she obtained, I just dont appreciate the arrogance of naming a plant, that is taken from the wild and already have a name, with her own name. It is a beautiful plant, and this lady clearly was not just trying to make ends meet by selling a few plants, she was running a business on lies, not only towards buyers, but also the locals.

[@BadBeech]

Yeah. Most of us know that but will always call it a Jacklyn.

[@cecile436]

I tried Jacklyn a first time, bought it one week before going to my parents for a week, when I came back it was dead. I tried ordering a new one, but it didn't survive the trip. Now I bought one again like two months ago, put it immediately in PON, and it seems to make the trick. It is under grow light for a few hours every day though, I have only east facing windows and it's pretty cloudy and rainy outside, so not really bright. I already have to turn on the light for me most of the day, so... :D

[@safuwanfauzi5014]

thank i live in tropic, my Jacklyn grow big..its was a new species, discovered in Sulawesi

[@thesoapfairy638]

Hello from Australia - thank you for your calming voice. Your videos are helping me calm down from ptsd to allow me to sleep. Thank you again

[@michellelenzo2244]

From Indiana USA just purchased purchased my first Jacklyn, 4" pot, 5 leaves, $20 used. I'm in love. Thank you for the video.

[@finefoliage]

I love my Jacklyn! I got it in Feb this year as a baby plant and also popped it straight into pon. Sized up nicely and loving life 😀

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

The channel Pretty in Green recently posted a video about the woman (Jacklyn, diff spelling though) who poached these and started selling them! It’s a very interesting video! The name has been officially registered as Alocasia Tandurusa , so we really should be using the proper name primarily going forward, with these other names either being not used, or being used secondary (since so many know plants by the wrong names due to sellers making their own names up) :) I hope I can get mine as large as yours someday!

[@NaTyra6411]

A question for those growing Alocasia in semi-hydro: With pon being so heavy and Alocasia roots being so sensitive (Corms push up through the soil, which you would think won't happen in pon, and Alocasia tend to react badly to repotting even when you try not to disturb the root system, which seems impossible in pon) How do you find collecting corms and upsizing your plant pots to be? Any tips to do this successfully in semi-hydro? These are the only 2 things keeping me from transitioning all of my Alocasia to pon. Thanks much!

[@hildacheung5833]

seeing your beautiful Jacklyn gives me motivation to repot my Jacklyn plantlet .. 🤭

[@florance17]

What an amazing Jacklyn! Thanks for these great tips and tricks! Only thing I missed were chapter marks, with a long video like this it would be handy to be able to skip back and forth between specific bits of information.

[@pennyroyal5424]

That is a beautiful Alocasia! +1 for the chunky/airy mix… I had my Zebrina in an aroid mix but recently had to swap it to an even chunkier one because it was essentially suffocating once it got watered. The mix had all the usual ingredients in it, but I think the ingredients were just a bit on the small/fine side so didn’t give it quite enough air around the roots when I pulled it out the bottom of the pot was still way too soggy. Nail the lighting and know your growing medium and how to correctly water it then they are quite happy. Humidity is an added bonus if you can achieve it.

[@Tina-wi7we]

This plant is an absolute favorite. Yours is gorgeous 💚✨🌿

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

I noticed you put your plants with Pon back into a nursery pot and into a cover pot. Can you do a video on that? How do you water it? How full is the water in the pot? If Pon can be used in nursery pots I will definitely be doing this as I don’t have the money to buy the other pots. Thanks

[@florance17]

Exactly!! I'm so interested in this, hope she does a video on this. I feel like I can't switch to pon because I really don't want to switch out my pots..

[@supercool7498]

Just got one of these in a swap! It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@elwalker9034]

Cool pants. I just collected one of these from Walmart where it was in a sad state, being poorly handled along with a rather impressive batch of Tropicals. It was the lone Jacklyn. It's sooo pretty tho. Hope it lasts and gets big like yours. It's even tinier than yours was.

[@gigiemysfotos189]

Wow. This alocasia is beautiful. I love it. Good job. I love your videos.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Love this plants leaves. My gosh, such a beauty ❤

[@prp134]

Love love this!! I would agree about the pests!! Spider mites almost killed mine. I have a single leaf left after treating it.

[@michelehand]

Hi CLARE can you give a video on plant bugs and what they look like. I don’t have a clue.

[@nickurbino9742]

Thanks for posting this! I will definitely try Semi-hydro. My Partner brought me home this Alocasia. It was doing well for several months then just stalled after dropping several older leaves. It is in a Chunky Aroid mix without soil. The Coco coir tends to stay too wet, so I'll try a Pon/Perlite mix with a reservoir.

[@Plantosaur6576]

Hi :) your Alocasia is beautiful. I started with Alocasias, and one day when I get enough experience, I hope to get Jacklyn, because I felt in love the first time I saw it on your channel 😃 I have maybe several stupid questions. But do you already have or can you make a video about semi hydro? I'm really confused what I need. Do I need a self watering pot (is it a must)? Is that like soil and has all nutrients? Or are these basically different type of rocks and I would need to put fertilizer with each watering? Do I need a special fertilizer for semi hydro? I see that people are talking about reservoir, and some buy special pots, some don't, some put some kind of string. And could I use it with store bought pots that have few holes, or do I need to invest in special kind of pots 😃? In short, I'm really confused about semi hydro 😂(which can probably be concluded from the number of my questions above)

[@hennesseyme9112]

I have one. This plant is not easy to grow, and spider mites love it! I had a brand-new leaf that was taking forever to unfurl, upon closer inspection, the unfurled leaf was full of spider mites. I sprayed it down with homemade pest control since commercial stuff just did not work on this plant. I also put it in Pafcal to see if I have luck with this. It has never gotten past two leaves. Such a gorgeous plant. I am praying for corms to make more, but not sure if they produce any.

[@tashalousdadful]

The exact same happened to mine. It had a brand new leaf that was covered in spider mites. Insecticidal soap seemed to do the trick for me. The new leaf is deformed for whatever reason. It is a new plant that I found in Walmart. How's yours doing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@hennesseyme9112]

@@tashalousdadful Mine went to the big house in the sky. I ordered another one so I will see what happens.

Hi Claire, I have a question: I'm using PON for my Alo. Polly and Dragon Scale. But the top layer of the PON there is mold. Do you know, what I've done wrong? Greetings from switzerland

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

I have this to in the colder months of the year too. I shower it off and if it bothers me long time, I use a H202 solution mixed with water. But if it could be done in a better way, or avoided altogether, I´d like to find out how. Any tips on that?

[@s-e1901]

just take the surface was it n put back again. next times water them from bottom

[@Plantdaddytips]

Water your plant from the bottom by sitting in a tub of water and letting it soak for 20 mins. Also you can spray a bio fungicide on the top layer to help of it persist

[@Mrsherpaplantsandnature]

Wow amazing 😍 and beautiful plant ☘️I have never seen.

[@meredithdavis5167]

I've got one shipping to me right now - I'm so glad i found this video! I didn't realize she's such a pest magnet; I'm considering integrated pest management and I think I'd better move on it! I can't shower plants as the water quality here is dreadful. It's hard as nails and terribly alkaline. I've got an RO filter under my kitchen sink, but I can't spray from that! I hope i can care for mine as well as you do for yours. She's stunning!

[@brandiclark9578]

Ive really had trouble with this one so far. I have two, a baby in pon and a medium in soil. I killed a full grown beautiful plant by trying to put in pon, every stem/corm completely rotted and couldnt be saved. I killed two other medium sized trying to transition. I finally got the baby one to transition to pon, but it only has one small leaf. My one in soil has two leaves and is pushing out a new one, i want to transfer it to pon but im scared now from past experience. I even tried water first (just up to roots, not too far up to stem) and STILL ROTTED. So with these last two i have im really scared to kill… i hope the one i have in pon gets to your size one day…thats my dream! Dream plant of all honestly. That and the veriagated frydek, but ive already got one sized up in pon so now i just need the tandurusa to do so. I really wish there was a plant seller who sold huge mature (as well as baby) plants already transitioned to pon! That would be so cool! Do you know any sellers who do this, cause i would pay double for real lol

[@ThePlantySpace]

Honestly, she's on my wishlist!! I have 9 plants (2 Alo's) and I just rooted my first corm on my black velvet but I want The Jacklyn SO BAD!! Yours looks SO GOOD!!! **EDIT: I love this angle in your space for recording!

I just bought the green shield , jacklyn and dragon scale because of this video

[@Winstonsmom]

I bought a small one about 3 months ago. I keep it in a cabinet with mostly African violets so the light is turned down a bit. It is doing ok and in the past week has put out 3 new leaves, BUT they are small, I’d say 3 inches from the soil and about 2 to 3 inches long each. The tallest leaf on the plant is about 8 inches from the soil and 5 inches long. Is this normal? Do you suppose it needs brighter light? I can’t really turn up the light in the cabinet or I will fry my violets… I’m wondering if I should get a small terrarium, or a second cabinet. Ambient humidity in my home is 40ish, and that is with humidification. So room air doesn’t seem like an option. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@bubblekatsy]

I see on some of your plants there are these little packets on the petioles. Are they some sort of pest control packs? Kapport? I can't read it really : )

Great video. Came close to buying this the other day (a very very very small seedling) but refrained because I am scaling down my collection. But great to hear what a wonderful plant they are. Btw, I just switched my Colocasia to Pon today. I first got it as a seedling in conventional soil but then got destroyed when the soil dried up. I then rehabbed it in just water for 2 months. The thing wasn’t really sizing up so decided to move it to semi hydro Pon. Would that be a better move? I figure in semi hydro it has the constant moisture w a more structured foundation. Can anyone give me some tips on what I should keep in mind? Thanks in advance!

[@andreatrawick4685]

Was there any struggles after you switched to pon?

[@lotsofpots.Rachael]

Oh, she is a beauty! Thank you for all of the wonderful tips! I love this Alocasia . Good job with her. 😊

During our very cold and dry Canadian winter it can drop to 18 in the room and it keeps on thriving. I’ve had it for 17 months and it is huge with still lots of the original leaves. It drinks a lot. She is in a 8” pot with well draining soil and I have to water it once a week.
