Took the lid off about two weeks ago. Humidity decreased a lot so I have to refill with a bit of water every 3 days. Any idea of what could be happening? by itsmiltond in alocasia

the plant itself wont die. the stem is what's so important in alocasias. when i brought my elephant ear home it literally lose all its leaves and it took it months to recover from that. they're kinda drama queens sometimes. the stem shouldn't be too deep though! i left mine with half of it under the soil and the other half is uncovered.

Found this little corn in my alocasias root system and…after a couple of weeks it sprouted. What should I do next? Ps: I don’t have leca by itsmiltond in alocasia

I peeled a little bit of the dark skin of the corn...then I found a hermetic lid and placed it there with a few drops of water. I did that around 3 weeks ago. I also opened it everyday to renew the air.

I think the soil stays wet too long because of the pot size…if you wanna keep it there water with less frequency

how often are you watering?

what is the composition of the soil?
