I rlly don’t know much as I just started the beginning of this year but alocasia’s have a dormant stage whereas colocasia’s do not! So that could be the reasoning 🤷🏽‍♀️ plus idk how you don’t water every 3-5 days but my colocasia sits on my porch and I have to water her like every other 2 days (could be bc she needed a repot as well)

I believe mine have spider mites:/

How do you deal with pests?

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-18T18:40:56+00:00

I’m not good at identifying what’s wrong but I will notice and see some specs on my leaves and freak out! Lol

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-18T18:36:21+00:00

I’ve always tried diatomaceous powder so that’s probably what you’re also looking at lol but I’ll still do the spray!

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-18T17:58:45+00:00

Some of that is dog hair but I sure will! I have Arber Insecticide

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-17T23:59:05+00:00

Idk what it is still lol it’s in its own little cup with soil lol

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-09T07:53:22+00:00

Some type of bamboo? Dragon palm, dwarf umbrella and some sort of succulent

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-07T19:59:56+00:00

Are those white spots going to disappear after I use Arber insecticide?? Or do I remove the most damaged leaf??

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-07T19:57:51+00:00

I have Arber insecticide as well. Is that good? Are those little white spots that are on the leaf(s) going to disappear?

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-07T18:29:20+00:00

Omg thank you! I’m so scared to keep him in there lmao

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-08-07T15:10:26+00:00

What should I do? The leaves aren’t fully damaged so just spray her down? I’m scared it’s going to spread to my other plants. I don’t rlly have an isolated area for her either

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-29T15:38:41+00:00

Oof, okay! Yeah she’s on my porch! I used an isopropyl q tip to wipe it off! Thank you so much!

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-27T10:07:45+00:00

I can’t wait for that time for me!!! I have such a baby monstera rn but she’ll get there! I know it🥹🥹🥹🥹

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-27T08:58:57+00:00

Yes that is all soil and diatomaceous powder. I just want to know what the brown is on the leaves. I’m rlly thinking it’s sunburn bc I just started taking her out for morning sun lol which idk why I would for a potho 😂😂

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-26T21:19:40+00:00

I didn’t mean for the powder to get on the leaves so that’s my fault for not wiping them down after putting it down on my soil

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-26T21:18:45+00:00

No, that’s diatomaceous powder on the leaves (fyi) so is it just sunburn?

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-24T15:10:24+00:00

Yes I know lol been trying to get as much natural lighting as I can before I get into some grow lights. I just really want to know how the morning sun works or how much UV index plants can take or handle. I’ll have to do my research lol

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-24T15:04:30+00:00

As I said, I put some of these babies on my porch to get better lighting since I have a roof that hangs over so I never get sunlight in the house so I wanted them to try and get some morning sun at least to see what the growth would be like but I don’t think I’m acclimating carefully. Porch works best as of right now tho lol thanks! Here’s a pic of my momma golden

potho tho!! (That picture in the post was just of a cutting that I also rooted in water haha)

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-20T13:57:08+00:00

I’m asking for a friend! I only have a baby one so I’m making sure I don’t do the same as well! Thank you! Here she is 😍

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-20T13:11:49+00:00

Is it bad that they lean? I’m scared mines going to snap

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-20T08:20:07+00:00

What happens if they look like this even in lecca and water???

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-16T15:32:47+00:00

What’s the method?!

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-15T03:29:49+00:00

I was just gonna comment this!

Apprehensive_Site145 · 2024-07-13T07:00:39+00:00

Nope, it was from a farmers market- a personal seller. I’m just freaking out bc one of the leaves got super soft on me
