Hi, my name is Alvin Cheung. I'm a software developer, yogi, and plant enthusiast out of Austin, TX and this is my plant problem!
Variegated Alocasia Care For Beginners
Info I missed in the video:
1. Light requirements - Bright indirect light, I have them directly in my South East facing window. Zone 8a, ATX.
2. Water when dry down to 1" like pretty much everything else
----------
The US (namely Central Texas) just received a shipment of absolutely variegated Alocasia that sold out in under 24 hours of unboxing at the big box stores we found them at. I was fortunate enough to pick up a bunch of them for my plant friends and had one pot left over for gifting to friends as holiday presents. There have been some questions asked by friends who are new to Alocasia in the local facebook groups so I decided to share a video of how to care for and split the plants u...

It’s time to repot my Dracaena that’s been rootbound for probably an entire year now.

Removing the plant from the pot safely 3. Unbinding the roots 4. Prepping the soil again 5. Putting the plant into its new pot 6. Watering Why y...
Is there a trick to get the cotton rope to wick? I made a 6 ft pole and it won't wick 😢
Genius !! ❤
Thanks. I bought one from the grocery and now it is wilting and rotting. What do you suggest?
The leaf hates water
Trimming and tying it up works awsome
thank you.
You're so welcome!
Forget the patent idea, I just seen several self watering moss poles. Sorry
What a great invention. Get a patent and sell them. I haven’t seen any other versions of a self watering moss pole anywhere yet. This was so educational, thank you very much
Instead of strings, try mounting it to a board with holes drilled into it then the soil and plant roots can weigh the board down keeping the poles in place. Think of it being in an L shape.
I just built this exact moss pole yesterday before seeing your video. That’s wild. One thing I will try next time is using hot sand to soften the pipe at the bottom. That will allow for me to form a loop out of the PVC at the bottom of the pot. This should add a lot of stability to the PVC pole. Yesterday I also took twine and wove it into both sides of the plastic chicken wire like you would do a ladder stitch. That allowed for me to pull the twine to cinch up the plastic mesh. Which made it a lot easier to apply the zip ties. My beautiful wife also pointed out that I can use the longer part of the plastic chicken wire to make it as tall as I like. Which was a duhuh moment for me.
is this plant is harmful for baby?
Well if you wanna send me some rooted propagated plants I’ll be willing to except
First time watched your channel very good 👍
Absolutely excellent!!! 🪴
I like the video but I gotta say I've had this plant rooting in a glass jar of water In a corner of over 500 plants. It Ran out of water and sat there waterless for a year. It wasn't looking good but I could still see signs of life so I put some more water in the jar and quickly. It began to grow new leaves. The area does have high humidity but that was impressive either way. The way I propagate my now is chop off the bottom half or top half If you will of my hanging basket with a massive amount of plant matter. I chuck the entire Bundle into a tub of water I change it after the 1st day as I do with all my water cuttings. And then once it roots, I chopped the plan up and Pot them up. I think this is an excellent method. For a lot of plants and good information, a very easy to watch video I didn't enjoy it. However I think you've done way too much here for this. Extremely extremely, extremely. Easy to Propagate invasive plant. I have a love-hate relationship with this plant. I love it because it Is beautiful but I hate it because it grows too well.
this is one of my favorite plants. I find it much better with this one to just soil prop the clippings. pop them right back in the pot. they seem to grow faster then in water. usually see new growth in a week or so
I just moved mine out of the light because the leaves were getting really pale, and I've never seen the leaves turn purple because of lack of light.
Thanks for the Recycling suggestion - it all matters even the small stuff, especially with over 8 Billion people on the Earth.
Great video! But when your plant outgrows the mosspole, how do you extend it?
I picked up some leaves off the floor off of the stores floors with permission I asked if I could have them and they said yes I could. So I brought them home and planted them with my peace lilly and so they grew roots and I put them in my new flower pots and now they are not doing well. I dont know what I done to them. I just transplanted them and watered them thats all I done. So what could you tell me I need to do to help them and yes I am a beginner. My poor plant... I cant believe they are dying on me now.
👏💕
I appreciate how concise your video is.
good information about plant....detailed video 👍👍....this plant looks so beautiful in my hanging baskets ❤
Thank you for this! I just put a cebu blue pothos on a regular moss pole and that dries out within a day, so I have to keep watering it - really annoying. So I'm going to modify it to make it a self-watering pole. Thanks again! Great tip!
As an invasive species I wouldn't recommend disposing of unwanted cuttings outside in the compost, they will grow and take over your entire garden
Thank you so much Mr. for great insructions! 🤓
Very good tutorial! I am just curious if the cotton thread ever get moldy?
This was wonderful! Yes, it's obvious that you're an experienced teacher. You predicted many of the questions your audience might have, and you addressed each in enough detail. Well done! I'm building one of these tomorrow!
Helpful tut vid! Thank you
great idea tho. i just have one problem with it... what if i need to extend or cut the moss pole?!
What size is the nursery pot. :)
What a good soil for this plant.! I got a clippong yesterday
You are a geneous sir!!!! Love your content and wisdom
Gravity has left the chat
Do these have pink flowers?
Nice video, one thing though, i have found conflicting answers but the maximum wicking height is around 30 cm or a foot, that is not a lot so almost all of the water in the pipe is wasted and only serves to create a pocket of stagnant water... also the sphagnum moss is if not better just as good at wicking water than the rope so idk it seems like there must be a better way.
Not true. I have a 4ft moss pole with wicking cord that wicks all the way to the bottom of the sphagnum. You have to use actual wicking cord for it to work.
I love it beautiful and interesting tips happy gardening
Hello, your video is quite helpful but I think that I will use coated metal chicken wire because the plastic one are too wobbly and fragile, the one in metal are more stable, thanks for the tips
Nice
Came across your video by accident .So glad I did. This is a great idea . I literally just bought materials to make my first moss poles today . Now I need to go back and get PVC pipe ( i have wicking ) Thank you for the tutorial. Subscribed 🌿🙂
That's funny because I did too
I'd like to see how sprout the corms.
I have two huge zebra plants that were growing so beautifully, high, and regal, but I took them inside because of seasonal weather conditions, and they drooped so terribly. What in the world??? I am crushed. I bought them over the summer, and they did really well, but now.... 🙄😔
Why my alocasia macrorhiza variegata leaves become smaller and smaller..?
there is another one the same except no line.
Wandering Dude
Thank you!! I am so bad with plants and you made this so easy.
I just ordered a baby of this variety Stunning!
The plant could climb the stability rope ,too.
Stop promote self watering moss poles, they suck and the rope just falls apart over time. Better off making a normall one.
Such a great beginner plant, if something goes wrong, you can almost always save it!! Grows very quickly so it is quite rewarding!
