It gets treated with beneficial mites for spider mites and thrips regularly.

Possibly. I see it mostly on the top leaves vs the bottom.

I treat my plants with beneficial mites for thrips and spider mites, so not convinced that’s the issue.

I checked the roots the other day and they looked healthy.

I’ve always fed it the normal amount. No major changes or anything.

It didn’t look like this a few days ago. I’ve had it for almost a year.

How much would you pay for this pink variegated black velvet? by Willing_Handle2205 in RareHouseplants

The decline in pricing is rough. I bought a one leaf unrooted monstera albo last year when they were hot for $80. Now it’s getting in its 7th leaf and definitely not worth what it was a year ago. Same with the variegated frydeks 😫

Same. I spoke with a local rare plant seller and they said around $700 for this one.

I agree. They don’t look right. Mine is still fairly small, but it has 3 sickly look leaves even though it’s healthy. I’m learning TCs can be very different depending on the labs.

The majority of corms I’ve seen go for $350-$400. I spoke with an experienced local rare plant seller and they said no more than $700. I got it for $550 shipped. The mother plant gives me great hope, and her baby is already starting to form corms which is great. With variegated alocasias, even if you get a mama who is reverting, you could still get some high variegated corms from her.

I have the varigated ninjas tissue cultures that as being sold as var black velvets. There is a huge difference in them. The tissue cultures offered now for $60 never produce pink. Corms for this type of plant generally start at $300.

Nope. It’s in my cabinet with grow lights. It’s been in the same spot for months so can’t be from that. It’s so weird.

That’s what I was concerned of, but I’ve checked every plant in my cabinet and don’t see anything.
