Insane Rare Variegated Alocasia Collection!Alocasia_Bridget. Milsbo Ikea Cabinet Plant Tour.

[@Madina509]

Absolutely freakin’ love this episode!!! I learned so much from listening to your mother. Your Mom is the coolest and you do NOT talk about her too much. 😂 Will I be seeing more of her, again?

[@otaku.plants]

YES! You will be seeing more of her. Lol 😅 I am so glad you enjoyed her & found her informative. She loves doing this. Thank you for 👀 watching

[@CCC9437]

Your mother is so patient! I would so irritated if I was trying to explain something I was very passionate about and someone else kept interrupting me. Her collection is beautiful. I think you should be more considerate next time. This is your channel and there are plenty of videos of only you just talking away. Please stop speaking over your mom.

[@otaku.plants]

Fortunately for me. We are both very patient with one another when it comes to conversations. I, unfortunately, with my ADHD struggle very horribly with impulse control. I sometimes don't realize I'm doing it. So, I appreciate your patience in sitting through me interrupting her. I asked her if it bothered her. She said absolutely not & she didn't even notice. So that's good. For future videos featuring her. I plan to set a visual reminder for myself to not interrupt. Thank you for supporting my channel, in future I'd prefer criticism to be delivered in a less hurtful way. Thank you.

[@CCC9437]

@@otaku.plants oh. I am sorry about being hurtful. I could have worded that differently. You have a great channel and I usually enjoy your videos but this one annoyed me a bit so I commented in a not so nice way which was inconsiderate. Anyway keep up the great work! Look forward to more videos in the future

She uses a 6000k light strip. We set it to about 4000k for optimal alocasia growth.

[@illustrashim]

Your mom as an AMAZING alocasia collection that I can only dream of! Love her!! 😍😍😍 In your experience, have you found the variegation from TC alocasia to revert? It's so hard to tell nowadays which ones are TC or not without directly asking. Even though I think most variegated alocasias are TC'ed, but I could be wrong 😅

[@otaku.plants]

Yeah. Honestly, they have all reverted. But the corms always come up var. For the most part. She's going to talk on another video soon explaining it all. I'm sure there are those that don't revert. But from what we've seen. They have all reverted. We still grow the corms

[@illustrashim]

[@amandanicole7976]

Can you do a care video or a day in the life of your mom when she cares for them?? I just got a venom and there isn’t much on them!

[@otaku.plants]

Venom's are surprisingly easier than you'd think. I can certainly ask her, she doesn't typically participate in those types of videos. But I can probably convince her to do a video on what a normal day looks like for her, plant wise lol.

[@Yambataller]

Oh God! Sarian is one of my favorite alocasias; and Portey get huge leaves as well! Love them both! Never saw them variegated before. Definitely I want a variegated black velvet. Corms always do pick out of my regular one and sometimes I take them out just because they are stretching out so much, but they are too thin. I’ll try leaving them in for longer time but I’m afraid that they will eventually rot. Haven’t had much luck growing the thin ones either anyways. I think I need to start flushing my pon…

[@otaku.plants]

@Yambataller your corms won't rot sticking out. It's attached to the main plant like a stem or umbilical cord. We leave ours until they are fat or drop down. 😅. Her plants kill me. They are so pretty 😍

[@thumpaharley7564]

Happy Easter Taz&Family! What a stunning collection! I love alocasia i currently have 33 types, one day I’ll collect those amazing variegated ones. The verigated Jackylin to die for and I was wondering why mine got a bit of that tan ty to ur mom for explaining it! I have tried and tried pon but they die, mine are in soiless mix in ambient room and they are all happy only a couple in 2 leaf club lol❤ty for sharing your mum she’s adorable! Love the venom!

[@otaku.plants]

You're so welcome. Honestly, I think mediums are dependent on the person & their style of plant Care. Pon might work great for us, but may not for everyone. It's hard to figure it all out. Soiless mix club! Same here. Love it. ❤️ she will look at all the comments once I get her set up. She will appreciate your comment

[@Alocasia_Bridget]

Thank you so much. They truly are so pretty, I did a soil less mix for a while and it’s worked great, I had a few recovery plants that did so well in PON that I made the decision to move them all into pon. Everyone finds something that works for them which is wonderful. I’m just a horrible over waterer so this was a great solution for me. 😂

So interesting! I have a variegated Polly that was probably tissue culture and it only had like 1% variegation left by leaf 5.. but all of the corms are coming out variegated! Hoping I have a similar experience and these ones are more successfully at maintaining the variegation

[@otaku.plants]

Thats what our experience so far has been. So weird! Glad the others maintained good var. 😍

[@Alocasia_Bridget]

That’s exactly what we found, it’s so great that the babies come out super variegated still and they seem to hold their variegation which is awesome. 🌸

[@KayBX]

I’m not sure how accurate it is but I’m sure it’s fairly accurate, most plants that everyone buys now is TC. Almost everything in nursery is around the is mass produced.

[@otaku.plants]

Yup! Sure is. Lowes. Home depot. Garden centers. All mainly TC grown plants. We mainly notice issues with smaller alocasia. Mature established TC alocasia do a lot better.
