What a great video. Thanks so much for information re not harvesting the corma.I have seen other people use pot extenders to make existing pots taller. I have also seen people reuse a clear starbucks cup by cutting the side and wrapping around the base of the stem. Ive only seen this for anthurium and never an alocasia so maybe it wouldnt work 😅

I would so have cut that Marble Queen too.

That would be the plant I would buy, if I could only buy one. I could not have walked away without that hoya. A local shop has one, but more than double the price. I would also have picked up the snail pot. Beautiful plant shop with good selection and prices! We have a nice plant shop locally. I found my baby Thai Constellation there for $40.

Every cebu blue I’ve had has been a bit problematic.

I got my baby Stingray with two leaves for $14.99. She is gaving me a new leaf and I have had her for only two weeks. I adore this plant. I have a Manjula and it is a slow grower, but beautiful. I finally found my Maranta Silver Band for $29 and it has 15 leaves in a 6" pot. It was definitely on my wish list for a while! I also have the Hoya Compacta Varagata on my wishlist at that size. Okay you got me, adding a Black Maranta to my wishlist! It is gorgeous. But it will need to come down in price. The plant at the top of my list is a Varigated Cast Iron plant.

Very insightful, thank you!

Wow was searching all over for a video on leggy alocasia, so timely. Thanks!

Have you had success growing small corms? This is the second year I see my plant produce surface corms but I don’t want to repot it and search for larger ones inside/below the plant. Last Q, do I NEED to repot every spring ? Or can I leave my plant as is?? Thank you!

I’m having a hard time IDing which philodendron I have. Can someone help so I know if it’s a crawler or a climber?!

I have a watermelon peperomia and it has not pushed out a new leaf in forever. what am I doing wrong? I am also ready to give up on this plant. it never seems happy. thank you.

If any of my Alocasia look like that in 2 years I will not keep them. Yep, I am all about beauty for my plants. 😅

Have you discussed what can be done with syngoniums when they get leggy? I tried to grow them on moss poles and it didn't look great. There were gaps between the leaves and the stems got woody.

You don't know what the approx. life span for the mother corm do you?

Another great video, Drea. Love how your channel isn't just "latest greatest ___________" (specimen, substrate, fad) but a collection of reference videos. I think it was Jeff at Everything Plants that showed how to wrap moss (? can't remember) around those gawky alocasia necks, so that roots came off and then the whole plant could be put in a deeper pot; not sure if he also did a chop 'n' prop as well. I grow alocasia and colocasia outside in our mild Puget Sound climate, bringing them in when/if temps fall to 32*F. Enough rambling ...

Hi ! You mentioned that you treated for flat mites. Is there anything other than beneficial bugs that you know works for sure ?

Could you air layer the top & then cut it off?

I keep trying with Alocasias, but not hard enough! I have a small Silver Dragon and a Polly. The Polly I’ve had for a few years, but it dies back and now I only have one corm with one leaf and tiny leaf that is trying to put out. Another smaller corm wasn’t doing anything. I’ll try your bottle cap method again. I tried it nearly two years ago after your video first came out, but I forgot to cover them and the water kept drying up before I remembered to check!

Very helpful thank you!

How do you know they were flat mites??? i bought a microscope that was crap, and they wanted me to download a Chinese app into my phone to make it work better - and that's a hard NO.

I'm curious why you didn't transfer the maharani to leca?

Alocasia, love Pon🤷and I have my Tiny Dancer🌿in Pon and she loves it.. try it.

What beneficials are you using for flatmites?

I have 6 juvenile Alocasias. They’re doing well. They just want more moisture than my other plants, so I put a layer of pebbles on top & they stay moist much longer 😊

Thankyou for that info on Alocasia’s. I have a few in my collection and it’s good to know what will happen as they age

Bothers me immensely when people don't take off dried sheath 😊 just don't accidentally break off a new growth

Loving you videos . Great information..

Sorry, I made my comment before you said that you had previously repotted them and found plugs.

Is there a reason you didn’t check all the plants for plugs while repotting"? Thank you.

This is the best explanation I have come across. Thank you.

Nice information

Thank you for the vid! Now I just might save my plant ❤

Thank you! I’m one of the planty weirdos that requested this video 🤪 Excellent explanations and information!

I have bought several philodendrons and was told by the seller to put them on a moss pole for mature leaves. Now I'm going to examine them all to see if i wasted my time & money putting them on a pole. You explained this in a way that made it easy to understand. Thank you so much.

21000 subscribers seems pretty awesome, hope you are having a great 4th.. Aloha Princess

Is it possible to add too many pothos to one pot? I just repotted one and I may have overloaded it in relation to the amount I added.

Great video

I love the shower tip! I never thought of that thank you girl

Thank you so much Drea! I just hung my Soltech light and I love it. I am looking forward to seeing how it does with my plants.

Do you need fertilizer if you water with aquarium water?

Hi love your videos 😊 I have a question. How long does it take a new Calathea Peacock leaf to mature? Have several leaves that came out after I bought it two weeks ago and they are still looking new.

Yikes! That distilled water is interesting. Glad I never use it! 😅 Thanks again for this wonderful knowledge!

I will drench my plants with water first; then I pour my fertilizer water in the plant last.

Love your videos. I agree with everyone else you’re so knowledgeable and thorough when teaching! I use Jack’s Fertilizer 20-20-20, which I see you have there yay! It has all the micro nutrients in it except it doesn’t have calcium, so I add calcium-magnesium supplement too. I’d like your opinion on the Great White Mychroizom. So many plant creators use it, so I started adding it.

I was gifted a new Ficus Elastica, have been trying to get information on how to take care of her. Have read and heard that rubber plants like a little acidity? What are your thoughts on the acidity of the soil.

3:05 micronutrients. Not macro. Good video.

I had a Syngonium that I bought years ago. I called it the arrowhead plant. When I brought it inside in the fall, it was big and better than I ever seen it. Big leaves, very bushy. As te warmer weather approached, it began dying out. By the time the growing season came. It was gone. I had that plant before the internet. I was totally devastated 😢

I have and love the Syngonium tricolor, my favorite. I also love the red leaf one and the Albo. I also like the pink splash. I have others, but these head the list.

I would love an update on this to hear if it's still working well for you!

I dont really use them anymore but I used to cut up stick fertilizers in smaller chunks/granules and mix it in the top layer.

Have pint or 2 and u ok or d u like and shake off but better to stop take this things for ever
