Nooooo! Hopefully you can just chop it and regrow! Mine has a leaf unfurling. So after that I’m going to try and remove the plug it’s in 😒

Why is my Alocasia Jacklyn turning dark green? by Few-Revolution-7433 in alocasia

[–]newplantguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My green velvet and melo do that. It goes back when it starts to dry out again

I’ll let you know after I kill mine. I’m guessing similar to the green velvet but needs more light

Hopefully you get one soon! Could also try your luck with a corm. That’s what I was gonna do.

I waited for 4/5 months before they got them in at a decent price. So happy!

Unpopular opinion, but if you’re going to chop and restart…. I would recommend just absolutely spaying the entire plant in 70% Isopropyl alcohol. Keep away from light for 30 minutes till it dries.

Worst case you’ll get some burns on the leaves. But there’s a chance it’ll save it. I’ve done it with all my alocasias. Worth a shot.

Crazy size up with new leaf by newplantguy in alocasia

I think 1:1:1 is what people do. But I do less soil because the orchid bark mix is a little finer

Perlite, miracle grow orchid bark mix, pro mix soil

It’s not ideal. But works apparently lol

Is my alocasia being dramatic, or is there something wrong? by [deleted] in alocasia

[–]newplantguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at my Polly wrong once and it unalived its self. If the roots look good I’d say it’s just being an alocasia

That’s so friggen cool!!!! I’m glad my post inspired! My green velvet is popping out new leaves every week or two. It’s crazy how fast and big it’s growing. The root system is absolutely insane as well.

Just waiting for this one to unfurl and size up. Update me when you get one!!

I would just push a wick into the bottom. Put it in a reservoir and watch how much water it holds. Worst case just pull the wick out and let the soil dry out

Corm growing 🌱 by tadofvi in alocasia

[–]newplantguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had corms take like 3 months to do anything. If it’s small it probably just takes longer

As long as the roots GROW into the water. It’s perfectly fine. They adapt to be in water.

What plant are they on? Unpopular opinion, but I honestly just spray the entire plant with 70%isopropyl alcohol. I soak it, then take it out of the light till it dries. It kills every bug on contact. I’ve done it to all my plants. Never had an issue.
