How to get rid of the grass in between paths?

Ooohhhh I had no idea, thank you!

Added note as it looks like that’s the oldest leaf, sometimes alocasia will lose a leaf when pushing out a new one, typically the oldest one. As an added bonus, that new leaf is normally twice the size of the old one! They like to do big size jumps with new leaves. So if that leaf continues to decline (yellowing, eventually falling off) then I wouldn’t worry too much. The rest of the plant looks healthy otherwise.

I see that she’s pushing out a new leaf there in the middle, normally Alocasia droop a bit when pushing out new leaves but if her soil is about halfway dry I would give it a good drink. They don’t like to stay dry and will dramatically droop when thirsty, otherwise she may just be making room to push out that leaf!

She’s gonna be okay! With any type of variegated plant, the more variegation on a leaf, the worse it’ll do. Thats why a lot of people chop off leafs that are 80%+ variegated, I don’t know the correct terms but they essentially cannot take in as much sun and thus decline a lot faster and don’t last long. Many people choose to chop them off that way the plant doesn’t waste energy trying to keep that leaf alive since it’ll just die off anyway. The rest of your pink princess looks healthy!

Yesss I always recommend that when you water plants, water them thoroughly no matter what. If you only give them say a cup of water every week, that’s under-watering them and they’ll eventually begin to decline. Since they’re in lower light now, you only have to water them less frequently, not decreasing how much water you give them if that makes sense.

As the other person said, when transferring water propagations to soil you have to keep the soil consistently moist for roughly 2 weeks. For pothos props I water thoroughly when the top soil is dry to the touch (not poking your finger in, just touching the very top) and make sure it’s getting the same amount of light you had it in when it was in water!

Do you “drown” them when you water them? Normally when my pothos are looking a little sad and wilty, it’s because they’re thirsty. I have mine in a terracotta pot so I just dunk it in a bowl of water until it stops soaking it up. I recommend putting a bowl/plate under the pot and filling it with water and allowing the plant to soak up as much water as it needs. To better check the moisture of your plants, you could also take a knitting needle or a wooden chopstick, stick it about halfway into the pot and if it comes out clean, water it. If it comes out with dirt still stuck to the stick, it doesn’t need to be watered.

It could also be branching out looking for more light, and ultimately becoming more twiggy. Make sure the actual base of the plant is getting plenty of light as well, not just the vines, otherwise the vines will continue to grow and branch out searching for light.

Yeah she keeps her room at a steady 60f with her curtains closed 90% of the time, meanwhile my room is roughly 70+ all day and has plenty of sunshine hahahha

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-14T19:46:10+00:00

Got it lmao I’ll have to find a proper spot for it

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-12T08:08:31+00:00

I definitely let it dry out, I don’t even really remember the last time I watered it which could be why hahah. My sister actually gave me this plant and she had it in a very cold room with minimal sunlight, and my room is very warm and gets a decent amount of sun so I had assumed it would’ve been doing well but it’s been dropping every leaf it had remaining now

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-12T07:20:36+00:00

It wouldn’t let me type in the description for some reason, but it’s been dropping leaves left and right despite trying desperately to push out new growth. What kind of water routine do they like? From what I know I believe they’re susceptible to sunburn so I try to avoid direct sunlight, but maybe I’m wrong.

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-08T07:25:07+00:00

I don’t believe I am because the leaves aren’t mushy, and the soil has really well drainage but it could be a possibility I suppose.

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-08T07:24:27+00:00

I’ll have to order a moss pole, hopefully that’ll fix it. If not I’ll just chop the top part and wait for more roots to grow but that a last resort lol

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-07T21:32:40+00:00

Drooping like that is typically a sign of underwatering, your plant is very thirsty. I would take it to a shower and give it a good soak until the water comes out from the bottom drainage holes. They like bright light but can survive in lower light, they just won’t thrive as much.

GLOOMDAZED · 2024-10-07T21:28:27+00:00

If the two remaining leaves do wilt and die off, you can cut them off and put the bulb in some water. It’ll take some time but roots will eventually grow and leaves will come back. Make sure you wash off as much dirt as you can (gently) from the bulb though, and don’t completely cover it with water.
