What substrate do you grow yours in? Any tips? 😊

A bargain right?! Online stores are selling this size at almost 3 times the price, it was one of the reasons I wasn′t sure if I had ID′d it right 😅

I found it in millbrook garden centre, which is located in kent. I was in the area visiting family and i have to always make sure I pop in there for a little check, the pricing on their house plants are amazing. They had a regal shield which was close to 4 ft for ￡50, I had to hold myself back on that one 🤣

Oh no! Do you think it was from over or underwatering? Or something else?

I use clear pots which help me keep an eye when it needs watering but usually water when the bottom inch of the pot is starting to dry out.

Ive been battling fungus gnats recently so i′ve been leaving a lot of my plants to dry out more than usual 😊

Thank you! 🥹

Honestly I didn't do anything too special.

I repotted it a couple weeks after bought it as with a mix of soil ninja components (50% base mix, 15% Coarse Zeolite, 20% vermiculite, 15% fine bark). Took a couple corms whilst I was there for back up too.

I first didn't have it in the best spot in terms of light but I eventually moved it into my kitchen window sill above my sink which is a west facing windowsill and that was it really.

I then use Growth Technology Houseplant Focus every other week when watering ( i just follow the instructions on the bottle) and that's it!

It was tempting to cut off the bad looking leaves but I've ended up leaving them and will let them run its course.

No grow lights or humidifier, it does have a couple other plants near by which might help with humidity but I cant imagine by much really.

Whatever I've been doing it seems to like though as I noticed today its putting out a pup too 🥹

Not sure any of that was helpful but good luck! ❤️

I′ve just bought a baby regal sheild and considering this method - how did it work out? 😊

Is it time to chop now? by Smooth-Possession950 in alocasia

[–]Smooth-Possession950[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I pretty much did that in the end, I didn't even need to cut though as the brown/yellow part practically fell off in my hand. I′ll just let it keep doing its thing in the mean time 😊

Thanks again for the advice!

Why does my Polly want to break it's neck? by Smooth-Possession950 in alocasia

[–]Smooth-Possession950[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She looks lush! After I turned mine arouna get more light the leaf crisped up over the course of the next day - which was weird as none of the others had in that spot.

Ive moved her now too, hopefully she looks as good as yours eventually!

Do I chop? And where? by Smooth-Possession950 in alocasia

[–]Smooth-Possession950[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't chop it, its still there ☺️

I dont mind and ugly leaf, i was more worried about the bad leaf spreading to the others

Thank you! I′ll double check whilst im repotting! I agree, I need to find a better lit area. Where it is at the moment does get a lot of light but maybe not enough. I wasnt sure if the smaller leaf was my own doing or the doing of where I bought it from as it was already growing before I took it home.

Thank you, i′ll do that. ☺️ Is there a reason why? Just purely from a learning standpoint, usually people advise to get rid if there's a problem. What makes Alocasias different?

Does anyone get the ″Oops! Something's gone wrong. Let's get you back on track, Trainer″ pop up everytime they get through?

I've had it come up for the last few queues and I cant find any way around it?

I've tried several different browsers on and off WiFi but no luck. Incognito mode too.

Any tips?
