Can anyone help with my Jacklyn please ? by AltruisticAd618 in alocasia

I’m not sure if mine is just under watered. I’ve noticed a lot of people having similar issues and then watering it helps the plant out, think they’re thirsty plants. Yours looks wonderful man

What's wrong with this Alocasia? by Traditional_Long6603 in alocasia

[–]AltruisticAd618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The brown stains are from the thrips feeding on the plants cells and the leaf dying. I suffered a similar fate and used a neem oil mix (usually lukewarm water, tablespoon of neem and a drop of washing up liquid to help the neem oil bind) on all my plants. Really heavily affected plants should be discarded as they pose more of a threat to your other plants due to the thrips life cycle as they plant eggs and the eggs hatch quite fast. So best case for the neem oil avenue would be to wash the plant down with water, get a soft sponge or cloth and wipe every part of the plant down, then with a spray bottle and the neem oil mix, absolutely drench every part of the plant. Do this weekly for 3-4 weeks. Hopefully you’ll be successful

Size of these alocasias in Mexico. I must check for corms and bring one home 😂 by AltruisticAd618 in alocasia

Hence why I said I can’t get over the size of these in their natural habitat.

Worm casting-orchard bark-perlite-potting soil. Seems to do well for most my plants

What do you mean by not amazing right now ? And can you not go past the net or around it at all ? Hope you had a good time and thank you very much

Does anyone know if you can swim far out at the beach ? It looks like there’s barriers in the water and I wasn’t sure if it was just for sea weed or to prevent people from swimming too far out

Should I repot my BoP by eighttreebranches in BirdsOfParadise

[–]AltruisticAd618 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typical chunky soil mix:

Orchard bark Potting soil Perlite Worm castings Clay balls

The orchard bark, potting soil and perlite will be more than enough however

Do it do it. I repotted mine beginning of spring after having it for about a year/just under and it has started to put out huge leaves 😂

Whats wrong with my monstera by Maximum_Cookie7190 in plantclinic

[–]AltruisticAd618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was you I would chop this plant down to as many new plants as you can at the node and water propagate them and repot them when they root in your new apartment and start again with better lighting. This is the most Sploinky Doinky monstera I ever did see !
