Plant Care & Repot : Alocasia Amazonica/Alocasia Polly | Houseplants Propagation

Time to transplant one of my favorite - Alocasia Amazonica / #Alocasia Polly! I had so much fun separating the baby Alocasia and finding so many little #AlocasiaTubers! I think this guy has been enjoying living in my home, and in my opinion, it is not the hardest plant to care for! Give it warm temperature, humid environment, indirect sun, and it will probably give you new leaves every month! Hope you enjoy this video! Comment and subscribe! Love- Jolene

[@zainabanam5567]

[@modown12]

I’ve done a lot of research on the subject and I found that fungus gnats feed on rotting roots and fungus due to overwatering and lack of proper drainage in the soil mixture. They can be helpful by getting rid of the dead matter but annoying because they fly around. Use a horticulture spray to get rid of them. My suggestion would be to not agitate the roots so much when transplanting. It’s OK to massage them a little bit, but you want to leave the majority of the root ball intact with the soil from the pot it’s currently in since it contains the microbes that it is accustomed to. Repotting a plant is very stressful for it so you want to do as little damage as possible

[@Theresmore2lifethanthis]

I was thinking about this!! Out of curiosity do you have any idea on what type of soil and fertilizer would be best for this plant?!

[@fabulously695]

Depends on your soil mixture and experience. In my personal experience and from what i've been taught, with the exception of pine trees, you always want to remove all of the soil from a plants root ball whilst being as gentle as possible. Especially when organic matter such as coir or compost is used, over time it degrades and essentially clogs up the roots. Whilst it degrades, is becomes much less free draining and anaerobic. If you use a soil mixture that is primarily inorganic, then this will not be so much of a problem.

[@cowabunga8922]

I recently got an alocasia polly and had to repot it because it's old pot was so tiny. Whenever I did, I found NINE tubers! 😮 I'm starting them in a lidded container with a little bit of water so wish me luck!

[@nonanormie5427]

Nice many baby allaccia coming

[@catrinanazaire782]

just got my Alocasia 2 weeks ago at Lowes , it was on clearance for $7 since it had a few yellow spots on the leaves, i thought they were sunburn, to me its no bigee, it just uncurled a new leaf for me , i love it, it looks so majestic but just realized today the pot did not have a drainage hole, i had to review this video how to repot it, and hopefully will be lucky to find some tubers on mines , as always love your videos ;)

[@arlenetricky8543]

This was so cute to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your happiness replanting these 😊

Hey Jolene !!! I think you are just precious !!!! I love watching your videos !!! You seem to be such a nice, genuine, friendly and lovely young woman. You are so beautiful as well !!! Please keep making videos. - John in Florida.

[@anniemahan2355]

Hi! I have an alocasia polly that I've recently repotted, and I'm sad to say that she's no longer doing so great. All foliage was green prior to repotting, but since repotting, several leaves have experienced browning/yellowing around the edges. I thought that this might be a symptom of root rot at first, so I ended up removing it from the pot once again and examining the roots. (I believe that at least a solid month passed between this and the initial repotting.) I removed all the soil. To my surprise, the roots looked entirely healthy. I divided the plant during this process as well because I wanted to have another plant incase this one didn't make it. This was about 3 weeks ago. The plant hasn't looked any better since, and in my panic and frustration, yesterday, I repotted my plant once again into a slightly larger pot. It was extremely root bound (wrapped around the outside of the soil several times over) so I thought that maybe I'd finally found the solution to the problem. It has now occurred to me, though, that what the plant might really be experiencing is transplant shock. The roots were tampered with quite a bit, especially when I divided the plant. I feel very bad about the ordeal, as I've realized that in my efforts to help my alocasia, I have probably hurt it. Anyways, do you have any recommendations for helping alocasia recover from transplant shock/root damage? Do you think that my plant might still recover? Sorry for such a lengthy post. Thank you!

[@point_and_aim1437]

Hey, did you ever find out what caused this to your plant? Did it survive? 😢😢

[@softballfreek597]

Vet tech here! Its okay if your dog eats grass often and does not necessarily mean they are sick or feel bad. Some dogs just like the sweet taste of new grass! 😁

[@carnigrower]

Hi there, like to see what you can get in America and the price difference. One thing i would recommend that is use a car smaller pot for the tubers that you separated, only 3-4 inch. I also love you are really honest, about bring a plant beginner. I see so many channels where people are really new to growing and act like an expert! Hope you continue with growing plants, i find it very relaxing to look after plants

[@Thankful_.]

Helpful! Helpful! Thank you! I just purchased one tonight! I’m so excited!

[@Bella-qu5pf]

Mine came with fungus gnats. Gave it over a week to treat and the poor baby is starting to look so sad. So said screw it and am completely repotting. Hope mine can be as beautiful and healthy as yours❤❤

I'm a new subscriber, and a fairly new plant mom! I have a great apartment with a small backyard and I have a growing obsession! Funny how plants just get into your heart! I have herbs and a few fruits and veggies outside, but I need ideas for indoor plants! So far, I have a gorgeous ivy that is mad at me for forgetting that it's hot and dry in AZ even if it's tucked away next to my bed, and a brand new peperomia that was just too cute to pass up.

I would love a full, in-depth Alocasia care video because I got one a couple of months ago and it doesn't seem to be doing too well :( . All of it's leaves are getting brown at the tips and I'm just not sure what I've been doing wrong :(

[@chrisb_1753]

I'm not an expert by any means but from my experience, It's probably a humidity issue. Maybe try misting the leaves once a day or so, and possibly keep a shallow dish of water with some pebbles in it near or under the plant :)

I can't get past only having 3 leaves. Please what can I do. I'm in the right light, I'm following watering instructions, it's not root bound, it literitly will not grow more than 3 leaves. I should have at least 9 leaves by now if I counted leaves it's lost.

@@JoleneFoliage Oh nooo! :( That's one of my fears with using new soil. It's hard to tell how "healthy" the soil is until you start watering it. Any update on the tubers now? Just curious. What you did is very courageous! I'd be too cautious of stressing out the plant. I also read somewhere before that African Masks actually like a tighter fit in their pot, so I'm reluctant to repot until I can see that the plant is obviously root-bound and not putting out any new leaves. Just a thought!
