I put the Antoro Velvet from soil to Pon, and i had no issues with it, but i felt it.. this Alocasia want more attension and more water. The leafs reminds me of the Gynura (purple passion) which needs also alot of water.

[@AllureAndInk]

Love my gynura and actually haven't made the connection!! But makes sense!! I'm a lot better about keeping my AV damp now!

[@teresavelazquez359]

I had a fun size Alocasia Antoro and it was doing great, until I moved it. It started dropping leaves and didn’t stop dropping leaves even after I put it back to original location.

[@AllureAndInk]

😩😩😩 def a delicate one! So far the one in PON is doing well. But not sure what will happen when it root bounds haha

[@lalagag]

Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate your experimental approaches and the information that derives from your trials and tribulations. Very useful. Plus your delivery is quite entertaining. I know I've thrown just as much if not more 'side-eye shade' to most of my Alocasias. In general I've accepted that this genus doesn't want to be my friend. But they're just so damn cute (especially baby cormlings) that it's nearly impossible to resist hoarding them.

[@AllureAndInk]

Thank you ! Super glad to be sharing my highs and lows! I'm just glad they multiply easily! Alocasia are the only species I've seen in person and then thought "this isn't real" 😝 turns out I was just missing out on the "alien" flora of earth haha 🧡🧡

[@lalagag]

@@AllureAndInk aliens are people too. Haha.

[@user-vr2th1iw2l]

Alocasia has it's own head .....love same postion....hiii''''sssss from egypt

I also used to struggle with Flying squid, Nebula, Infernalis, and Silver dragon but the following are what I did to make each of them thriving very well now: Of all 30+ Alocasia species, Flying squid and Nebula are on the opposite spectrum of watering requirement. Flying squid requires most often watering and Nebula least often. With same potting medium (coco chips), Indirect sun light condition (300-500 FC 6-8 hrs), temp 28-34 degree Celsius, humidity of 60-80, in outdoor condition with low wind, I thoroughly water Flying squid every day and Nebula thorough watering every 3-4 days with light misting on top everyday. For Infernalis, the same potting medium, temp, wind, and humidity conditions as the above apply but I put it in the location exposed to 3-4 hrs direct sunlight (2000 FC+) and water thoroughly every day or two. I totally agree that Infernalis is least resilience. If you leave it dry out between watering even a tiny bit too long, it would drop all leaves and die. For Silver dragon, I use chunky aroid mix (Orchid bark, pumice, vermiculite, perrite) with sphagnum moss covering the top layer of the potting medium and cover 1-2 inches of the stem. Light 500-1000 FC 6-8 hrs, same temp, wind and humidity as above. This potting mix and sphagnum moss technique (with the use of small pot to allow some root bound) also work very well with my other Alocasia species.

[@AllureAndInk]

Rey! Thank you so much for your commitment! It's great to learn more from other Alocasia growers! I'm writing down the flying squid/ nebula watering tips! It's very interesting to hear about the direct light on Infernalis! Mine was also close to the light and doing well, but the Leca got too dry. Thanks for the great info!

[@Hononotenshi]

Loved this video, so useful. I'm currently struggling with both Dragon scale and Silver dragon as they did not liked the transfer to pon very much. But my Ninja and Melo loved it.

[@AllureAndInk]

💯💯 I super feel you about the baginda transfers! I have my money on the new ones from corms to love semi-hydro! How's the Ninja? I usually forget about it because I love the base reginula! But I've seen that Var ninja hit TC and not sure if it's that different! Lmk!

[@torquess454]

I heard the Cupreas leaves will bend down to get away from strong light, I’ve pulled mine out of the window, let’s see Edit:then you said it lol I’ll stick with the normal Cuprea, it blows my mind every day, I don’t need “more” plus some of those variegated Alocasias look a bit sickly to me personally. I prefer green versions of a lot of my plants minus a few albos I have ;) the white variegation is definitely a bonus to me I adore my Sinuata too, only ever get 3-4 leaves but it produces quite a few inflos too…

[@AllureAndInk]

How fast did Sinuata grow for you? All mine just do an absurd jump and start pushing around them. And mine also decided to start inflos already 😩

[@friskymp]

Beautiful your collection! The Melo in my conditions loves light around 700’s fc and I fertilize every time I water it. The corm that was in the soil grows so much slower than the mother plant, my guess is because it’s still a baby. The mother plant grows a leaf a month (more or less) except when flowering. It is in ambient humidity. Hope it helps!

[@AllureAndInk]

Thank you! That is actually very insightful! I was leaning towards less light... I have a couple with 3 leaves, the same size. I'll run an experiment, lots of light Vs. little light see if we crack it! Look forward to a Melo reel about it!

[@friskymp]

@@AllureAndInk it’s important to say that I measured light on the street: resolana (light direct morning sun) is 1000fc in the phone light meter, so I’ve put grow lights in a distance where it measures between 500 to 900

[@lindaleef]

Where do you get your cover pots? Love your video!

[@AllureAndInk]

The ombre cups are from Michael's, the bigger are food container from Amazon 😂 and the last bigger ones are candy buckets from Party City 🤣🤣🤣 but they work very well!

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I only have two alocasias. My Silver dragon is doing very well and it is my favorite. My other alocasia is my Stingray. It is giving me yet another leaf. I really like this plant a lot. But I am not sure if I want anyone alocasias. I found your video helpful. Thank you.

[@AllureAndInk]

Thank you for watching! I love silver dragon! I just wish it would love me back and stay like that haha. My stingray is also a pretty one! The variegated version is out of this world!! It does get big, tho. Currently mine is super rootbound, but I can't have it get any larger haha 🧡

[@miekaandkadoe7042]

From experience the cuprea can get pretty big the leaves get ALOT bigger than yours is so far, my leaves on mine are about triple the size of

[@AllureAndInk]

I want the big bois! Any tips on sizing up? I can keep a lot of leaves but the same size. More light has not helped haha how much light does yours get?

[@archanakini9595]

Beautiful plants. ❤🎉😂😂

[@AllureAndInk]

Thank you!!

[@ninasuculentasymas]

Yea, would like to see your homemade pon recipe.

[@AllureAndInk]

Awesome! I'll put it down as a future video! Thank you for watching!

[@look4keith]

I, too, feel victimized by Alocasia Nebula!!

[@look4keith]

And the Internal is belongs in the fireplace.

[@AllureAndInk]

I'm doing better! I started not watering it from the top. Only fill the reservoir and the wick... I'm trying less Dampness lol

[@AllureAndInk]

Yeah, this one is fully cursed 😂😂

[@andyx6827]

Beautiful 😍

[@AllureAndInk]

Thank you for watching 🧡🧡

[@silviajulianauribe3984]

Omg yes, absolutely an in depth DIY pon video please!. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, I feel so validated 😭😂. I’ve been witnessing my pink dragon slooowly wilt into oblivion. I’ve been trying to fight the good fight, but gawd it has been emotionally taxing 😂🪦

[@Ghost-sz7uo]

how are your bagindas doing now? do you find that they do better in soil??

[@AllureAndInk]

Still struggling the OG. But a silver baby is sizing up really nicely and a scale corm is doing well too. But the ones from soil still struggling

[@user-ij1mp9mj2h]

Just got mine infernalis for a relatively bargain price roughly 60 RMb/10 dollars. Still yet to bother the root/pot and kept it in its original small pot with densely packed peatn moss. I do wonder if his plant is a low light preference due to black/redish leaf

[@AllureAndInk]

Great price! I'm definitely trying to buy another and test that out. The growth on my chunk is super slow. I'm going to try less light and more Dampness when I get one established! Keep me posted on your Infernalis journey! 🧡🧡

[@seriousgeeth]

You have missed sinuata

[@AllureAndInk]

🙈🙈 controversial take. I put it in the next video because it's literally one of my biggest Alocasia and all the corms size up SO DAMN FAST! Compact has not been my experience with Sinuata! But I love it! I got some Aurea Variegated TCs to play with! So you'll be seeing LOTS of Sinuata content in the future 🙌🏼🙌🏼💚

[@ninasuculentasymas]

Very useful tips…thx! What fertilizer do you use?

[@AllureAndInk]

Was using Superthrive, but now have been doing the Tezula from MSU the K-lite 12-1-1

[@KayBX]

15:16 polite recommendation can you not speak when you have a video that you’re speaking, it’s confusing lol.

[@AllureAndInk]

Agreed! That was my bad! All side tracks are supposed to be muted, but that one with those 3 clips, escaped me! 🧡🧡 I'll catch it next time!

[@KayBX]

@@AllureAndInk that’s fair :). Thank you for replying to me. I just get confused when multiple voices are on top of each other :). I love your Alos :)
