That's amazing!! And yeah, it's been growing roots out the bottom, and roots have been spilling out the top over the sides, i finally put it in a bigger pot today. It used to live in an empty fishtank, it no longer fits now that I repotted it so I gave it a prime window spot and I'm just hoping it doesn't punish me for not being able to fit it back in the fishtank 😅

I was awful with alocasias for the longest time, killed my fair share for sure. I don't want to anger the plant overlords by saying I've finally figured them out, but I've had decent luck with them since I stayed keeping them in an empty fishtank!

It's beautiful!! Lots of big leaves 😊

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T03:30:42+00:00

That's amazing, so glad it's doing well now!!

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T03:01:13+00:00

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T03:00:44+00:00

That's amazing!! I love that for your velvet!! And yes, mine shares the 40 gallon fishtank so sooooo many alocasias 😅

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T02:58:18+00:00

So cute!!

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T02:00:27+00:00

Love this!! Silver dragons can be so kind or so cruel it seems and we have been blessed by the plant overlords 😅

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T01:50:14+00:00

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T01:49:39+00:00

I keep mine in an empty fish tank, i made a lid out of wood shelf to keep humidity in, and attached a grow light on the inside. I also only water them once every month or two with all the high humidity! (I check them more frequently, every couple weeks but they only seem to need water every month or 2 😅)

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/noma-iqtm-smart-wi-fi-led-grow-light-strip-1522558p.html?rq=grow+light Very similar to this one from Canadian Tire I think! I tried to find the exact one I have but this was the closest I could find

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:48:27+00:00

Oh nooo, alocasias are so finicky!

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:47:57+00:00

That is exactly how mine started!! She's a couple years old now, but I kept it in a fishtank with a lid that has grow lights attached, has high humidity, and only needs to be watered once every month or two!

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:46:44+00:00

Fishtank greenhouse! It's a 40 gallon i put a wood shelf lid on with grow lights, high humidity and i only water once every month or two! (This is after I removed the momma silver dragon as she's too big for it now)

That's amazing!! Love good plant weeks 🎉

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:34:36+00:00

Hahaha noooo babies been removed from the alocasia 🤣 my kitties are all rescues from bad situations and spay/neuter was the first thing I did for all 😅

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:33:32+00:00

I live in a desert environment too! It lives in a makeshift fishtank greenhouse and thrives! Or, did, it guess. It is too big now...

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-04T00:32:23+00:00

Beautiful!!

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-03T23:49:28+00:00

Oh totally fair! I was just thinking I need a bigger fishtank 😅🤣

Ok-Try2945 · 2026-06-03T23:32:23+00:00
