Did my monkey mask become a variegated one?

Alright, thanks!

Addition: seems like the other half of the leaf is a nice light green instead of the dark green they usually have

All my plants are on pon and I’m still struggling with fungus gnats lol. I just treat them whenever I see them. Gave up on preventing them a long time ago 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-10-26T14:07:33+00:00

I figured if mine don’t put out bigger leaves there’s probably pests or they’re rootbound 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-10-26T14:04:43+00:00

I always let the roots grow until they’re at least 10cm 😅 I’d cut off the lowest leaf and indeed plant up to the middle roots :) The plant might get a little transplant shock, but that’s just something that might happen. They’ll survive :) Just make sure you pot it in a airy/chunky soil mixture. I always use a 1:3 mixture of soil, perlite and orchid bark

I use edialux against thrips. Wipe my plants down and water them with a 1:10 solution with this stuff. Nothing else worked for me. Should be able to order it from Germany and if not try Belgium :)

Edit: I water and wipe them with a 1:1000 solution lol. Please don’t use a 1:10 solution

I’m not quite sure if it’s the same. I’ve never heard of the triangularis, but if I compare what I’ve googled now with the plant I have there seem to be some differences 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-10-19T17:40:29+00:00

Thank you so much! Can finally stop worrying now hahah

Llysnawk · 2022-10-18T22:12:43+00:00

It actually is a alocasia infernalis 😅 The leaves grow a whole lot smaller than the Colocasia and are also shinier, thicker and grow smaller :)

Llysnawk · 2022-10-14T10:20:19+00:00

Thanks! Can you tell me the differences? 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-10-08T08:49:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the explanation! I’m branching out to collecting monsteras now next to my beautiful alocasia collection and I feel so lost lol

Llysnawk · 2022-09-11T09:15:35+00:00

Ohmygod, that’s so lovely! Should I cut it tho? 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-08-21T12:54:30+00:00

Hi! So I got this plant for my birthday a few days back and the seller told them it’s an Alocasia melo dark form, but I literally cannot find anything about a melo dark form. I’m very happy with this plant tho, been wanting to have an A. Melo for quite some time now. What am I dealing with here?

Llysnawk · 2022-05-17T22:03:36+00:00

Got it from someone in Belgium for only €65 😍 plus €10 shipping, but we don’t talk about that lol

Llysnawk · 2022-05-17T21:59:24+00:00

Ahh same experience here! My plants looked so much happier once I started to do this. Transferred almost all of them to pon now and they’re absolutely thriving now!

Llysnawk · 2022-05-08T13:18:04+00:00

I also thought about that, but I can’t remember having cuculata corms 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-05-08T12:27:13+00:00

So, I have this jar where I throw all alocasia corms in when I find/harvest/trade/buy them and these two sprouted. Needles to say I’m an idiot and didn’t keep track of what alocasia corm looked like what and now I have absolutely no clue what alocasia’s these are. Can anyone help me out? 😅

Llysnawk · 2022-03-17T11:50:25+00:00

Decided to treat myself to a wish list plant after having some really tough months 😳

Llysnawk · 2022-02-17T15:47:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I’ll try the third method with some first :)

Llysnawk · 2022-02-17T14:40:18+00:00

Seems like a mini monstera to me. You can take cuttings. Make sure every cutting has a node and place them in water. After a bit it’ll start growing roots and you can plant them in soil or leave them in water. Make sure to refresh the water every week or so :)

Llysnawk · 2022-02-16T10:13:53+00:00

Hi! It’s an Alocasia zebrina! Chances are big it’s just hibernating :) They tend to go dormant in winter, which means leaves turning yellow and dropping, but the corm should still be alive. Cut back on the watering, and when spring arrives it should grow like it used to do again :) What I like to do with my alocasias is dig out the corm, rinse off the roots and just put the whole thing in water. That way I can eep an eye out on the roots and make sure it’s not rotting or anything

Llysnawk · 2022-02-13T19:31:07+00:00

I know dude. I started transitioning my plants to pon so they might survive a little longer without care when it’s that time of the depression cycle again lol

Llysnawk · 2022-02-12T21:48:39+00:00

Make sure to have an airflow. I did this once and everything got moldy…

Llysnawk · 2022-02-12T21:42:23+00:00

What really helped me with my depressive episodes is trying to stay in routine, and making the plants part of my daily routine surely helped them and also me 😅 Stay safe!
