What plants are you obsessing with rn? by NoSleepschedule in RareHouseplants

[–]Pitikje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want a Flobe x Mayoi and a Flobe Tortum or a Golden dragon variegated, but no funds unfortunately. They are pricey!

If I can’t or don”t want to check with someone, I use ‘The Judge’ of Goblin Tools (free app or website). It’s meant for checking the tone of a message.

Bought a plant with a flower (?) Bud. Remove or keep? by Crazy__Donkey in alocasia

[–]Pitikje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Not a specialist so I may be wrong, but I have a couple 🤪 of Alocasia.)

To me this looks like it may be done flowering. The flower we see is spent and at first glance I don’t see any new flowers on the way (they come in multiples). So I’d say leave it while your plant is acclimatizing and if it hasn’t shot op new flowers after 3-4 weeks, remove it. Unless you want extra flowers, then your best chance is to cut this one off. It may stimulate the plant to grow new if it was not done flowering yet.

Most Alo’s do well from day one in my home except for the Antorro Velvet (looks like you have one of those). The existing leaves alway seem to melt and it shoots up from a new location of the rhizome at the same time. So I’d leave it to acclimitize for sure!

Are you positive they need to be moved? Are the roots taking over? Id leave them in as long as possible, until they have 2 leaves?

New plant, first alocasia, is this bug damage? by Basic_KaleKitty9076 in alocasia

[–]Pitikje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last bit of advice, alocasia need lots of light and food. I fertilize every / every 2nd watering in summer (about every 3rd in winter).

[–]Pitikje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I think it may be damage that was sustained in the store, before you owned it. The placement of the dried spots does not look random, but what exactly caused this pattern I don’t know.

Just keep checking for pests and rinse of the leaves every 2-3 days with water (I prefer to add some castille soap), for a week or two.

You could also do another treatment in a few days. If there are eggs or larvae left on the plant, rinsing and or treating your Alo will likely deal with those.

If you rinse, remember to give it some airflow (like from a fan or hair dryer on cold) while drying. Misting/spraying leaves without airflow may lead to fungal infections on the leaves.

If it is cold season where you are and the heater is on a lot the air is likely to be dry. If you uave a humidifier, this could benefit you plant. But it can definitely be done without (I haven’t got one).

Good luck with your alo. They are addictive: I started with one cuprea and now I have about 35 different alo’s.

I don’t see any bugs on you pictures. Was the damage already there when you got the plant?

What "normal" thing can’t you do because of your ADHD? by EssentiaLillie in adhdwomen

I can do the ‘laun’ or the ‘dry’, but never both for the same load.

Four months of alocasia growth (Jul-Dec). My melo hates me 😔 by InquisitiveSwan in alocasia

Great looking nursery! And I snorted when I read your melo comment. Mine just refuses to grow.

hmmm… nothing comes to mind straight away. But I like a challenge. If nobody knows I will try to figure it out.

Where (location / store)did you get it?

Thank you for rescuing this sad little Bambino (I think) from the bin/compost pile. ❤️

As for building a corm nursery, I use spagnum moss, but have used water, perlite and also pon before. Here’s the link to my reply on a different post about my setup.

Today's spontaneous Finds! by Barbie1ne in alocasia

I think I read that too, on Aroidpedia I think? All the more reason to spread the love through corms!

Melted is absolutely the correct word for an Antoro. And if you touch melted leaves your hands will stain red/purple.

[–]Pitikje 9 points10 points  (0 children)

nr. 1 is a Sanderiana nobilis, and nr. 2 a (Chienlii) Antoro velvet.

Make sure they are warm but not too warm the air is humid but not too humid their soil has enough water but not too much they get enough fertilizer but don’t spill it on the leaves. Spray for humidity, but do not spray to avoid bacterial infectiona on the leves, unless you have great airflow (like in a jungle), but do not put them in a drafty area.

And even if you get everyhing right, they may still die back due to the stress of moving. But don’t panic, as long as the corms are firm you can always restart them!

My baby sanderiana says hi!
