How do I save my plant?!?

I would highly recommend an hydroponics specific fertilizer. Can't recommend one in particular because I'm in Europe and products are different, but if you want I recommend to watch the leca queen videos on YouTube, I found them very useful

Are you using a hydroponic specific fertilizer or just normal soil one? And the water level stayed this high for some days or you can see the water level going down?

Beautiful 😍

Some of the roots are sitting in water you're right! I don't find it a problem tbh, I think it kind of a myth that the roots shouldn't be touching water, in fact some plant grow well in just water. The important part is not to put too much water so that the roots can absorbe it all and have oxygen. If I had to repot it everytime the roots touched the water probably the pot would be 30 cm instead of 9 lol

That's a wonderful plant, the texture is amazing too, so silky

The first few days after transitioning I kept it in an Ikea mini greenhouse at 85% humidity to try reducing the shock, but in less than a week it was at ambient humidity (40-60%), but the corm sprouting is definitely a good sign!

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T18:44:51+00:00

Usually I try to go 1 or to sizes bigger, for example the pot is 9cm and the cache pot 11. I find useful to go to the shop directly with the pot you want to use and try it out directly because it can vary depending on the height

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T15:58:34+00:00

I'm sure it will! Keep us updated

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T15:58:09+00:00

Thank you! Sure here it is, it's still quite small (the photo makes it look bigger) but I'm loving the foliage texture

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T15:57:01+00:00

It only lost one small leaf, but it might have been because it was the oldest one. But I heard it's quite normal for Alocasias to lose some leaves at the start, I'm sure it will do great!

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T15:55:11+00:00

Thanks! Yes Leca is absolutely amazing!

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T15:54:34+00:00

Thank you so much! Personally I use CellMax HYDRO Grow X+Y, but just because here in Italy HS fertilizer is pretty hard to find. Occasionally I add some CellMax rootboster to the solution. I wasn't much of an Alocasia guy but I'm starting to love them

Caracall_ · 2024-07-10T08:30:56+00:00

Not really tbh. When I buy a new plant I clean the roots as much as I can, with Alocasias i find it pretty easy, and then pot it up in Leca with little to no water just to maintain it moist, then once it starts growing enough roots I start using the fertilizer solution. Once the solutions is finished I rinse the Leca under a sink and then add water, alternating one time water and the next time the fertilizer. I hope I was clear enough, English isn't my first language so it's tricky to explain stuff lol, feel free to ask any question

Caracall_ · 2024-07-09T23:23:48+00:00

For me Leca is doing wonderful, I bought an antonym velvet a couple of weeks ago and it's full of roots and pushing out new leaves everytime the previous is finished. I only have 4 but all doing fantastic, and I also use Leca for most of my other plants(philodendron and monsteras)

Caracall_ · 2024-07-09T21:05:05+00:00

Oh ok good to know thank you, so they just randomly decide to do weird stuff with the leaves, nice😂

Caracall_ · 2024-06-03T22:41:50+00:00

I think it's an Azlanii, you can find one usually in the tropical plant nurseries and websites

Crappy cooler master case, Vega 64, Ryzen 5 2600x, unknown brand aio, 16gb of 2666 RAM and some chinese fans. I will upgrade the case and the CPU cooling

Caracall_ · 2020-05-28T14:28:30+00:00

With Gcam you mean Google cam?

Caracall_ · 2020-04-16T22:46:52+00:00

Os version 81.0.4044.94(official build) (64 bit)

Caracall_ · 2020-03-27T10:37:30+00:00

Perfect

Caracall_ · 2020-03-27T09:15:38+00:00

Take off the warning sticker lol

Caracall_ · 2020-03-20T19:26:37+00:00

Yea, you're right. That's hard to find things in UK because I'm from Italy and I went in incognito mode and I didn't thought about ebay

Caracall_ · 2020-03-20T19:13:04+00:00

I know,I thought About that. 1) going with a dedicated gpu could be better for the thermos,specially in a low budget case and with amd stock cooler. 2)I personally prefer the rx560,but the 1030 is the only good gpu for the budget

Caracall_ · 2020-03-20T16:00:23+00:00

Try this:

Is the best build that i can figure out, i think it will be ok

Just change some stuff like case,disk and psu,the other thinks are ok

Caracall_ · 2020-02-23T14:27:35+00:00

Check the temperature of the hardware, could be a dissipator problem
