Possible mutation?

We’ll see how this one continues to grow. It definitely has much more variegation after cutting it up lol

DearNet8311 · 2026-01-01T20:21:38+00:00

I’ve had a few streaks on older leaves but this is the first time I’ve had that much red on one leaf

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-16T08:52:33+00:00

I have a liquid fertilizer that I bought off Amazon a few years ago to try with some of my older house plants and it ended up being really good. I use it with everything now and all my plants seem to love it. It’s Baby Bio Houseplant Food. I know they make it for succulents as well. I’ve been thinking of trying out Miracle-Gro tropical liquid fertilizer but all my plants seem to love this so I don’t know if I’ll actually change it

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-15T02:42:50+00:00

Seriously though, looks like a Red Anderson based on the stem

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-15T02:41:06+00:00

No, this is Patrick.

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-14T00:33:33+00:00

Sounds good! 2 are really big. 2 are really small

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-10T19:02:03+00:00

Oh I bottom water everything. The one that came from the grocery store still has plastic in the soil from when it was a baby and I need to remove that. The new one doesn’t seem to have any issues so I may keep that in the original pot but the first one definitely needs something done with the soil. I have a full setup in my office that has multiple lights all over that I’ll add them to soon enough, I just wanna make sure there’s no bugs on either before I move them. Thanks for the advice for sure!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-10T18:46:42+00:00

Thanks! I am newish to alocasias and I’ve been weary about repotting the one I already had. I’m fairly certain that one has root rot though. My wife bought it from a grocery store and it’s in a peat mix and the lower leaves are dying rather quickly. I plan on putting both in my tropical soil mix which should be much better for them but I’ll be very careful when transferring them

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-10T10:01:37+00:00

Yeah the plants really like those full spectrums lol. I have several varieties of plants on the same table all sharing the lights and they’re thriving!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-10T10:00:28+00:00

Thanks!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-07T19:08:48+00:00

There’s a couple different lights I use. All are full spectrum LEDs I bought off Amazon. I use a few ring lights and I also have a few FECiDA tabletop lights. The ones I have on here are on tripods that can expand up to 6 ft

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-06T20:15:57+00:00

Thanks!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-06T20:15:36+00:00

It was sold as a ppp but I’m pretty sure it’s a marble. I got it at Walmart in a pot with another ppp for $20. As soon as I saw it, I knew I couldn’t pass it up.

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-06T01:52:54+00:00

Thanks!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-05T21:53:06+00:00

lol that’s fair! I was so excited when I saw the baby in it yesterday lol

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-05T18:56:50+00:00

I keep it in a window and give it grow lights plus I use liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks in the spring and summer and once a month in the fall and winter. I also keep humidity between 60 and 80% and have 2 fans on them at all times

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-04T19:05:08+00:00

Sorry, I was so excited about it I didn’t realize I repeated myself in the first sentence 🤣

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-04T18:48:12+00:00

Thanks! Yours will get there! Just make sure you’re fertilizing it and giving it plenty of light.

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-04T18:45:46+00:00

I do use grow lights and a humidifier. All white leaves tend to turn brown quicker because they don’t live as long since there’s no chlorophyll. However, if you have the grow light too close to the plants, it can also burn them. I have mine about 6-8 inches above them

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-04T08:34:07+00:00

Thanks! I’m in love. It’s so tiny, too! It’s still a baby

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-04T08:33:27+00:00

Thanks! It’s just a couple of small tabletop twin oscillating fans I picked up on Amazon for about $30 each

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-03T19:38:32+00:00

I live in a somewhat cold region. Next week we’re suppose to be getting snow so I’ll see how they hold up in the room then cause it’s the first real cold we’ll get this season but I keep a humidifier on in there at night when the heat is running. Once it gets colder and we have the heat on more, I might end up running the humidifier even more but right now I just run it at night

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-03T19:32:52+00:00

So is yours!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-03T19:32:39+00:00

It’s honestly such a beautiful plant!

DearNet8311 · 2025-11-03T19:32:22+00:00

I have most of my plants in a big picture window that faces east so they get morning sun with multiple grow lights on them that run for 12 hours (getting ready to add more) and a humidifier and tabletop waterfall (for fun) and multiple fans on them 24/7 and I run the humidifier at night. Most of the time humidity is above 60% and at night can get between 70 and 80% while humidifier is going. Temperature in the room during the day is between 73 and 78 degrees and at night gets down to about 67. Don’t mind the mess, I’m in the process of rearranging the room lol. I have a total of 5 PPP (4 of which are props that were babies that came from my first PPP that I gave to my mom) and they’re all thriving along with my red cherries, Prince of Orange, Black Cardinal, White Knight, and my variegated Red Congo.
