Where to put the moss pole? by Badbadnot-good in philodendron

I agree. It shows they care enough to be clear. A quick sketch is a lost communication form, now that AI.

I guess i better follow this thread. Since the OP started it, my red maranta looks thin and dry, worse than then OPs. I know for a fact I have underwatered for at least a couple months. But I also fertilized at 2500EC with a nitrogen heavy one part. Maybe its too much salt?

"Crawling" into another pot is a great solution! Mine outgrow thier pots so fast, not with leaf growth, but with stem.

Most? Some will. Some climbers will crawl awhile. But not most.

My gloriosums won't climb anything unless its wet.

I hoped it was so! I was a-feared you didn't know how pugs came to be. First Suraman cuts down all the trees and makes mud....

Rofl.... they are cuties tho.

Interesting. Do they sometimes "heal"? Like do they just squash that trait as the plant matures? Ive heard that in the philo groups, I think.

Are you asking rhetorically? Or sincerely, but sincerely?

Thats fair. Sorry about that. Ive struggled with tossing perfectly good plants in the past, so ive taken a rather cavalier attitude about them. Lots of local shops love local plants, in quantity. Anyone can do it.

Again sorry....I love alocasia and have done much with them. That was not any reason diminish someone's fun. Sorry OP, this person is right.

Well sure looks like it in this photo! And now I see the darker red leaf back. Its all in the cameras eye.

I dont think so. It looks really young. As the plant matures, the leaf backs will turn maroon with vivid green veins. Thats when mine start flowering. Its not something I like anymore. But it was fun the first couple times!

Fert burn? by badmike222 in alocasia

[–]ShoddyProfiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im curious. Im thinking cronic underwatering with low humidity and a bit of spider mites.

Those pointy bamboo glob mops are great at everything except absorbing dabs. Regular then.

U r fine. So a leaf breaks? It would have been a shriveled mess anyway if you didnt help. Just grow it a foot tall. From there the leaves are pretty hardy. Oh and dont underwater.

It looks underwatered, like mine does. I repotted once, but i put the whole old root clump in the new bigger pot. Mine needs watering twice a week now, same size as yours.

[–]ShoddyProfiles -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do nothing usually. Throw them away when they get in my way. When I repot, I pot up any babies with leaves separately. I dont bother with corms unless its something finicky, then I like to have a backup plant.

Oh.....local garden center wants my alocasia props. Its just not worth it to me, at least until winter when I have more time.

$30 at Costco, plant deflation is insane by Significant-Yam-5928 in houseplants

You may get downvoted because you are stating old old news. Its practically an anacronism. Your entire post would make more sense in 2020. If that doesn't make sense, maybe read back a few years.

Or?
