6:05 Pro Watering Tip: this is important to prevent leaf dropping. If not enough water provided, the oldest leaf will be sacrificed for the new baby leaf.
i’ve been drooling over the alocasia frydek but struggling to justify the purchase so i’ve been coping by watching alocasia videos & living vicariously lol
Just subscribed! You are adorable and I'm an "old" lady so I can say that LOL....don't worry about your "vocabulary", you are doing fantastic. Glad you included the toxicity, a lot of us forget and things can happen so quickly, I know, I have two Pomeranians, one still a puppy and chewing on anything she can get a hold of!! I have really fallen in love with alocasias lately, and after seeing your sting ray close up, I just ordered one. It is so cute! Thank you for your videos, they are highly informative.
Awwww! Thank you so so much for your lovely comment - I really appreciate it ! pleased you found the information useful and so excited for your new alocasia collection! ;)
I'm in Texas, and bought my stingray last year. I travelled during the winter and it died and thought I lost it. Well to my surprise some came back this year. It's one of my favorites. You're quite charming, I'm going to start following your channel. I have a Facebook page of my plants, Atascosa County Horticulture Club, look like up please. But I'm going to start adding plant videos to my channel. Thank you for your time and keep up the nice work.
Hi Avel - so sorry for the late reply! I took some time off my channel over the past couple of months because work has been a bit busy. You are too kind and i really appreciate your support and for stopping by! I will check out your fb page!
Don't beat yourself up on the yellowing leaf! Judging from the small size and that it's the most outter leaf, could just be an old leaf that has lived it's life. For every new leaf (or two) on my alocasia, I find that the most outter leaf shrivels, goes yellow and die 😵💩👋🍂
Aw thanks mate! I hope so and that it wasn't because i was neglectful! perhaps i havent had enough growth on my alocasias to witness leaf dying yet but this might be a first! (although pretty sure one of them was a dead baby :( )
@@jessypotplants for me, it also looks like that both yellow small leaves are on the outer part of the plant, so they really are just older leaves. Every new leaf is usually bigger than the ones before, so don't worry :) as I heard from others, alocasias are little divas and shed there leaves everytime something a little stressful happens... (.-.) Thank you for your informative video! :3
Hi Mack, I just received my plant from Esty because I fell in love with the plant last year from physically getting one from HD. Of my 4 leaves 2 are yellow and I'm disappointed. I contacted the seller and waiting. To make sure I'm going to take care of this baby.. it will get a good 4 hours sun..i will plant it under some other tropical plants i do so it doesn't get too direct..(in watching her video) Any advice you can provide would be great. Thank you in advance
I mist my Calathea Orbifolia every day and it's doing so well. I thought my little Stingray would enjoy it too... don't do it! The leaves got sick I think, and turned yellow... my Stingray now only have one stem left! A new one has grown from it but I'm not sure if it will ever be able to grow into a "full" plant again. One small leaf on my Zebrina has started to droop and turned yellow around the edges and some of the bigger leaves are dripping water from their tips - I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to Alocasias...!
aww im sure youre doing your best! how is it doing now? are you still watering it that much? would suggest repotting the alocasia as it might have a case of root rot if the leaves keep dropping off!
If they are dripping water from the tips of the leaves that’s the plants way of getting rid of excess water, sounds like your overwatering that would also explain loosing leafs. The water droplets is called guttation.
I recently got a zebrina! I remembered this video and came back to it for reference, and it's really helpful! Also, don't worry about your vocab/wording, sometimes I struggle with words too haha, it's fine :) it doesn't change the good info in your videos! (have a good day, from Tassie!)
Aw you are too nice Bee - I really appreciate it!! You're too kind :) reading your comment really made my night! How do you find growing the more tropical plants in Tassie? I'd imagine heating might be something to pay some more attention to!!
@@jessypotplants I haven't had an issue with tropical plants really, although I mainly stick to ferns. I think because it's quite wet in the area of Tassie I live in that it might make it slightly humid for them? The temperature doesn't seem to bother mine much as far as I can tell. During the daytime the sun is pretty bright and warm, so I think that helps (although the most tropical thing I have is my zebrina so far)! Sorry if this is long and rambly haha :)
hey lovely!! not a problem! just to doubly be sure - majority of this video was about caring for ALOCASIAS rather than their cousins colocasias. Alocasias AREN'T pet friendly!
Great video! Its eerily similar to Kaylee Ellen's Rare Plant Index alocasia video 🤔🤔 Like spot on with the time stamps and everything. Good points in both videos!
Hey Sasha, thanks for your comment and feedback - I really appreciate it! I can see there are similarities in topics and points covered in both videos and how this would raise concerns regarding plagiarism. All I can say is that I didn't watch Kaylee's video first and then decide to make one myself. I take pride in making my videos and my channel (even though its teeny!) With plant care, a lot of information sources will mention the same topics, information and points. I know the best I can offer is my word but I hope it addresses any concerns you have about my character
Just came across an alocasia purple sword and this was very helpful. I picked it up because I thought it was different and beautiful but they had it labeled wrong in the store so your vid is a big help for me🤗👍🏾 thank you
jessypotplants that’s the kind where you put it in the tub, correct? I’ve never tried that. Would I be covering the whole pot with water or just letting the bottom of the pot sit in a few inches of water for an hour or so?
@@zalnoor01 hello! deep watering is where you water until the water drains out from the pot (as opposed to watering just the top of the soil to keep the water moist). The technique you're describing is bottom watering! I haven't tried it on my alocasias - yet - does yours enjoy it?
Hi great Video!! But like watering 2-3 days?!!! Like how's that possible though... I can only water mine like every 10 days... And have quite drainy soil...
What is the way to propagate Alocasia? And also during the winter can you put them in terrarium so that they have more humid enviroment? Thank you so much for your answer. 🤗
hey there! I've yet to try propagating alocasia so I'm sorry i dont have any tips for you! A terrarium sounds like a great idea! i must try it next winter!
I have a question I hope you can answer. I live in South Africa and our climates I would think would be similar? May I ask what soil composition do you use for your indoor plants. I find the RUclips videos regarding soil composition are aimed more for Northern Hemisphere plantkeepers and I find the soil remains wet for far too long.
Hi Alain! Hopefully I can help out here - it will depend on the plant (so my orchid has a different soil mix than my regular houseplants) but I use a mix of 30% orchid bark, 20% perlite and then the rest regular house plant soil. You're right with the observation! I've found that Ive really had to make my mix a lot more aerated otherwise it gets way to boggy. hope this helps!
Thank you for all the tips! Do you use any soil amendments or anything that might help prevent overwatering, i.e., perlite, pumice, coco coir, orchid bark, etc? Also, do you fertilize in the spring and summer months?
Hey Andrea - i think so, particularly if you're keeping yours outdoors and its out in the sun. I think in the height of summer I'd even do every 2 days
hey there! he's no good unfortunately :( he passed away in the winter because it was too cold. If you have cold winters suggest climatising him early by bringing him indoors in autumn and getting a heat mat to keep him warm
I had no idea about avoiding the misting on the leaves and stems! I've been going at it with the mister like crazy so I guess I'm just lucky nothing's gone wrong yet! Thanks for that tip. Saved me a lot of trouble down the track. I will say though, don't you think that they might like a BIT of misting to keep the spider mites at bay? That's just my thinking. :)
That's a fair point! Humidity is a tricky one I must say cos it depends on so many other things like lighting and where I'm keeping the plant (high or low). For my guys I think the locations I keep them in are quite humid so spraying them have just made them too damp and I found fungus/ mould on the begonias D: but a light misting never hurt nobody either! Other ways to keep the air humid to fend off the spider mites, can be leaving a container of water near the plant or using a diffuser!
In my experience they love being misted, however if it’s a very damp environment and you have absolutely no air movement then that may cause a fungus problem so maybe open a window for I little bit of fresh air, but no cold air for these
I just got a tiny dancer alocasia. I have it in a room with filtered southern light (in the US). So the room is medium bright to bright, but not actually direct light I'm thinking that might still be too much light for this plant. It might do better in a room that gets much less light, which for us in the USA would be a room that gets northern light. I am struggling a bit with the light level since I've seen articles that say "low light" and seen many articles that say to use "bright, indirect light". Seems like nobody really knows for sure how to care for this indoors. Thoughts?
Heya Nancy! Southern light is always quite bright for a plant - if you keep him 6 ft from the window that should help! Or if you have some sheer curtains, you could hang it over that southern window to create that filtered light!
@@jessypotplants The southern window has a shade drawn down that lets light in, but it's very filtered. When I moved the plant into this room (after being quarantined for a few weeks, since it is a new plant) the leaves started to yellow and look crispy on the edges.
@@jessypotplants Hi Jessy. Thank you so much for getting back to me. The plant is around 2 feet tall and there are 5 varying sizes of leaves with 2 if them around 10 inches long which are looking like they are straining a bit to stay upright. That's why I cut the smaller 2 to help them(on the advice from someone else)?? The temperature is around 14 degrees outside. I live in Scotland. There is also a new shoot growing too. Hope you are keeping safe in Sydney...full-on lockdown here. Morag
@@moragclark7839 Hey Morag - ofc! happy to help where i can! Aw thank you! its day 33 of quarantine life so keeping as safe as I can! I hope you are staying safe too!! Hmmm - how old are the 2 big leaves trying to keep themselves upright? It could be the leaf just nearing the end of its life which is ok! My alocasia zebrina leaves live for generally 3-4 weeks before they start wilting. A general rule of thumb with alocasias is that you dont really need to prune them - unless their old leaves have well and truly died (which is fine!). Does your alocasia live indoors?
jessypotplants Hiya! I bought the plant nearly a month ago and the 2 biggest leaves look okay. The new shoot is the second to come through. The first of the new shoots is the same height and size as the biggest leaves! It grew very fast. And though I am being very careful with the watering, only doing so when it is dry to about 2 inches deep,it is growing quite tall and that is why I’m concerned, because the the tallest leaves seem to be bending under their own weight. I am very new to house plants and I didn’t actually think it would survive this long considering it was very cold a month ago, around 6 degrees Celsius. One of the 2 smaller leaves has a couple of yellow spots with brown centres??? I fell in love with this zebrina and I really don’t want to kill it. Ha!...I just about had a heart attack when I saw that you shouldn’t really cut off the petioles. Another you tuber said it was okay but they weren’t very specific about the right circumstances....I am really grateful for all the advice you can give. Morag
@@jessypotplants HI Jessy, thanks for getting back to me! I cut the stem from the bottom and now the one that is getting yellow is getting better?? maybe lol. I checked for some possible reasons and one of them is that I watered it too much hmm
Great video, but I have a question, I hope someone can answer for me..... I heard these need lots of humidity, is that true? Should I purchase a humidifier? I have a Polly. It seemed to be doing well at first, but now I've noticed a few brown spots on the leaves :( If anyone can help, thanks!
Thanks Marie! I find they need less humidity than a maiden hair or a calathea. I think the trick is to maintain moisture around the plant. Try adding some spagnum moss around the plant (but not touching the stem) to retain moisture. Or you could set this guy on a tray of pebbles
Those yellow leaves are not babies, they are just the oldest leaves. Baby plants will grow up next to the mother plant. Also yellow discoloring is usually overwatering or underwatering. Sun-damage is brown and crispy.
jessypotplants thanks for the reply! No need for sorry haha I never heard that word before so I had trouble figuring it out wasn’t cause of your accent. Will look into it!
