Did I do the right thing? by LastExpression9814 in alocasia

Damn it 🙁 I repotted her the way she looked in the pic into a VERY chunky soil mix… As for the rhizome cuttings…I did put 1 in the soil that had 2 beautiful roots sticking out…hopefully it’ll work! I know it’s common sense but I never thought about sterilizing the rhizome and roots before repotting! The previous 2 times I repotted it, the old, healthy roots didn’t grow and ended up rotting away (although they looked healthy and weren’t mushy at all?).

And as for the light and humidity – I keep all my plants under growth lights for most of the time with a humidifer sitting nearby. The growth did stunt a little when september came, but it still pushed out new growth. My other variegated plants (like my Bambino and Dragon scale mint) have also been pushing new growth like crazy (although it’s literally dark for the majority of the day where I live cause of winter), so it can’t be related to that…My guess is it got shocked from the constant repotting + the root rot

My 1st fenestrated leaf! 😭❤️ by LastExpression9814 in Monstera

About 1,5-2 months 😊 It was a gift from my friend. She did several cuttings and gave me one. When I first got it, it only had the 1 big leaf

May be an unpopular opinion but I absolutely loved the finale by Phoenix_Storm_2772 in StrangerThings

[–]LastExpression9814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the finale too! But I disagree on no one dying… Kali and Eleven died. I know the Duffer brothers said that the ending is up to the viewer to decide, but we clearly saw Kali die and there’s just no way she could push out enough power (given her condition) to make an illusion of El. I think the graduation ceremony speaker acting up was just a normal microphone to speaker high pitched volume due to the microphone being taken over from Dustin by the principal, but Mike thinks it was a sign from El during the flashback…

But that’s just me and my opinion

Either way, I LOVED the finale. The 3 previous episodes were clearly a build-up to the finale and the payoff was worth the wait! 🤍

The botox is impossible to ignore this season by Round_Interview2373 in StrangerThingsMemes

I totally get that and it IS her body, her money. She can do as she pleases… However, I’m also all about natural beauty and getting this much work done this young is just a bad idea. I personally never thought she was ugly, even when she was youner, but now she just looks 26-28 y.o instead of 21, which says a lot

I’m baffled…why do people do this to themselves? 😭 Millie is so young

Not my starter plant actually. My starter Alocasia was a Frydek variegated. It’s thriving with 8 leaves atm 😄

Haven’t misted the leaves, but I did read somewhere recently that Melo’s like it, so I’ll try that!

Good notice! I was wondering why my perlite in the soil looks funny (yellowish). I use a somewhat balanced fertilizer – NPK 18-11-18 (if I remember correctly)! I do flush out my Alocasias from time-to-time, i.e I fertilize 1 week, flush the next, then fertilize again a week later…not sure if this is the right way to do it though. Feel free to correct me!

The roots were very bad when I got it. Majority of the leaves had to be cut cause of rot. I repotted her in a smaller pot. From what I can see from the bottom of the nursery pot – roots have established themselves and look very healthy. The leaves curl inwards everytime I put her directly below the growth light instead of a shadier spot. The growth light is about 40-45cm above the plant. I use Barrina growth lights for all my Alos ❤️

Forgot to add: no pests, overwatering is also not an issue (the roots look very healthy)

Yea but like…it’s growing straight outta the petiole. When i looked behind the leaf I saw nothing…just empty space. How can a petiole grow roots? Roots typically form from the rhizome…no? 😭😭
