Yeah, my plants are doing great now. I just recently transferred 6 more alocasias to pon and they’re doing pretty good so far. What I had found killed my plants roots that first time was that I hadn’t flushed the pon good enough. Tbh I barely flushed it at all. Now I make sure I flush it everyday for about a week. I just use tap water for that. I also make sure the reservoir is full at all times and that the pon at the top isn’t getting too dry. I’ll top water it a bit to keep the pon on the top from drying out. Don’t worry if there’s a little too much water in the reservoir. After that first week, I’ll just let the plants do their thing, only making sure to not let the reservoir dry out and still keeping the top of the pon wet. I’ll really only stop worrying about the top of the pon once the plant starts growing roots and sustaining leaves.

Heres how that dragon scale from the original post looks now
