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❤

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.

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! 💚

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.

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.

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
@kishenia Жыл бұрын
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.

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 :)

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.

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!
