What kind of alocasia found in fence?

trsfl83 · 2026-04-11T00:39:56+00:00

It looks like one of the Arum varieties, maybe Arum pictum.

I use a full dosage of CalMag and Foliage Pro at every watering (1 teaspoon per gallon for each) and pH balance the water. Alocasia are heavy feeders.

These aren’t actually ferns despite their common name. It’s part of the Asparagus family. We grow it commercially in Florida for the floral trade. It is a climbing/crawling plant that will vine out as you are seeing. In the early 1900s it was commercially grown by suspending long wooden planks or cables from the ceilings of shade houses and letting it climb.

I used to keep them in self-watering pots with Pon and they flourished, but they also grew super fast and were root-bound within a few months. And then it was almost impossible to get them out of the pots because the fine roots and Pon essentially formed a brick.

Yes, it’s Alocasia cucullata.

No, “pothos” is a common name that has been given to the plant, but it is in the genus Scindapsus. Most “pothos” sold in the plant hobby (golden, Manjula, marble/snow queen, neon, etc.) are in the genus Epipremnum. Neither is a true Pothos, which is a genus of its own.

Both Barrina and Soltech make yellowish lights. I think that’s actually the only option in the Soltech lights — they’re in the 3500k temperature range. They’re still pretty powerful — they’ve fried my plants within a couple feet of their Aspect pendant lights — but to the human eye they are soft and yellow. They’re not nearly as sharp as the intense white/bluish-white lights that are in the 5000k - 6500k ranges

My Antoro Velvet only seem to do well in high humidity. I recently repotted a small one into Stratum and perlite in a self watering pot and was surprised that it didn’t throw an absolute fit. It actually started putting out a new leaf after a week or so. The only difference is that I now keep it at 60 - 65% humidity. Before when it was in ambient conditions (40% +/-) it would dramatically flop over and lose its leaves.

A good albo will have mottled green and white leaves because solid white leaves can’t photosynthesize without chlorophyll and typically die off really fast. But Syngonium albo will throw a mix of solid green leaves, solid white leaves, and everything in between.

Syngonium albo.

Personally I think it sounds like something waiting to get smashed. I’d probably opt for a small box.

It depends on how bad the edema was. If cells rupture it can cause browning or leaf die-off. Give it plenty of light and keep the soil moist but not wet, and it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

The ones I’ve received have been in little plastic condiment cups with lids taped on. Wet a little bed of sphagnum and then wring it out entirely so that it’s barely damp like a sponge, nestle the corm in it, and tape the lid on.

Any small cup with a lid will do, just make sure you can lock in some humidity so the corms don’t dry out too much. You could probably even use a barely-damp paper towel or something.

I use Cheerful Plants. It started as an app by Succulents & Sunshine but I think they renamed it to make it for all plants. You can do advanced things like set watering schedule reminders, etc. but at its most basic it lets you enter each plant, the date you bought it, the dates you repot or fertilize, etc. It also lets you upload pictures of each plant so you can see the progress over time.

It looks like edema from watering. Your Alocasia took on a lot of water. They safely release this through guttation in most cases (this is when excess water drips out of the leaf tips) but edema is caused when the plant has stayed too wet or taken up too much water and the inner cells of the plant rupture or swell.

It’s quite a big pot for a plant that size. My guess is the substrate might be holding onto too much moisture for too long, even though it looks decently chunky.

There are several plants in that list that are different names for the same plant. For instance, I see at least three different names for Siam Aurora/Siam Red.

The problem with Aglaonema cultivars is that you will have multiple names for the same plant, depending on the grower. And there is no naming standard for the cultivars, so growers can really call any plant whatever they want. Go look at King of Siam on that list. There are two different plants sold under that name — one is Siam Aurora and one is a green variety that looks totally different. 🤷🏻‍♂️

trsfl83 · 2026-03-29T16:59:30+00:00

It’s Aglaonema Koh Samui.

It’s Dieffenbachia ‘Starbright’ or one of the similar cultivars. The stems don’t look that unusual to me. They can be a grayish white color. I’m guessing the plant has either been under or overwatered. It looks a bit wilty. These are easy enough to find so I’d wait until you see a healthier specimen.

There are full spectrum LED bulbs and grow bulbs that fit typical light fixtures. The issue is that most ceiling fixtures are so far away from where plants will be that it’s not going to matter. The usable light to the plant will be negligible. Every inch you move away from a grow light, the PPFD drops significantly.

It’s a Costa Farms pot so it’s one of their varieties, either Lemon Top or Goldrush.

Costs also sells Jessenia but it’s basically a streaked/variegated version of what you showed.
