So, patience is definitely a virtue. Yes, it was definitely overwatered and there was no bringing back the one I chopped. However, I was able to save one of the bulbs after taking out quite a bit of mush and now have another much smaller Zebrina growing. I’m sorry for all of those who waited for an update, but appreciate those who did so with patience!
Never put an alocasia directly in a clay pot it's a big error ... you have to use a plastic one with holes in the base or a pot of coconut fiber that lets the water pass ... other way is very difficult to control the humidity of the soil. And that pot is way too big, alocasias like to feel the roots tight. // and to help creating new roots you can use 2 tbs of peroxide oxigen (the one from supermarkets with 10 vol. 3%) into 500ml of water.
I'm now growing a zebrina. Mine is in a much smaller pot with drainage holes and is doing really well. These plants like to dry out some and like bright light.
Please give an update...either way..great video..love your style of videos..not too much and not too little..just right amount of talking ..well done..wish you much plant success Greetings from Abu Dhabi
Well as a first impression I would say the soil composition isn’t correct. The Alocasian like airy less compact soil. You need some Perlite, Coconut moss, Charcoal, Worm Casings and some Pumice possibly to keep the soil airy and the roots from sitting in wetness. I would suggest you use a inner pot therefore the excess water can drain out and when watering thoroughly soak the plant until the excess water runs out. Either by using a Clay or plastic pot. In your pot the plants FEET were always wet. Another reason, depending on the time of year, some Alocesian go into Chill mode. Then the leaves fall off and they stop putting out babies. Also since the plant is relatively new with your light conditions it takes a while to get acclimated. Most Folks don’t take Time to let Their new Babies settle in and start with their Program which isn’t the plants Program. Check to see how far the rot has gone,cut it off, let the bulb dry out and place the bulb in a paper bag, and store it somewhere dark, dry and cool until next year. I assume it’s a culmination of too much water, too little time to adjust, and just too much LOVE!! But if it’s Fall there, Oktober/November it could be that the plant went into Dormancy mode and is saving itself for the spring. I just noticed that this video was made in 2020. Hopefully 2021 was a new awakening of the plant? What ever you do DON‘T throw away the bulb. Many Parents have later learned of their errors and how the plant lives, to later be kicking Themselves for throwing away their Children. Take care and remember, We NEVER stop learning.
It's good that you gave the remaining Alocasia a smaller pot. It will be a lot easier to control the moistness of the soil. I simply love Alocasia Zebrina' s they are so beautiful ^^
@@wishlisthouseplants1490 Oh no... They really can be tricky; I recently rescued a Alocasia Wentii (not sure about the spelling XD) and it was almost dead. I had to cut 4 leaves of the small plant. Fingers crossed it won't die on me XD Good luck to you
Faula, that’s not true. If she doesn’t change her watering habits, the composition of her soil mixture, and realize that the plant goes into hibernation and must be acclimated to its new surrounding, NOTHING will change. The results will be the same. When I get a new plant I repot it immediately. That way I can see the root structure and know it’s health conditions. After placing it a good soil mixture and using the same pot, I soak it until water runs out of the draining hole. Place it on a Ort with the right conditions for the plant and watch what happens. In Spring/ Summer things go faster than in Fall/Winter. Soon it will show you if it’s the right place or not. If nothing happens in 2-3 weeks. The plant is too wet or too dry. But still it’s communicating with you. You just have to understand what it’s saying. I wish her luck but she needs to inform herself more about the requirements of the plant. They’re called the DIVA of plants because they’re not fully understood.
A good tip is to leave it in the pot it came in and simply buy a nice pot that’s a little larger, and simply place the existing pot (untouched) straight inside the one you buy. Easy!!
it needs a lot water, dont let it dry. an you need a pot with a hole in the bottom so the to much water can leave the pot ... and you potted it to deap in to the soil, only the roots should be in the soil not the base!
you just planted it too deeply, the only rot I saw was at the base of the plant. pot it high, better to expose the top of the root, than to plant too deep.
Well, I just posted an update comment on how everything did. My apologies for not getting a video together, my husband has been ill and I haven’t had the time to edit videos as of late. I appreciate all of your patience!
Hi... I came across your video because I have the same plant and just wanted to say that I believe the roots likes to be root bound so if you can put the plant in a smaller pot even thou it gets a little bigger the plant will be happy , I also read that you can change to bigger pot every 2 or 3yrs if needed and also water it with warm water not hot and not cold but warm cause it would go on shock
@@wishlisthouseplants1490 oh sorry to hear... I just bought the zebrina myself, so gorgeous. I got root rot on a peperomia..I took it out to have a look and all the dead roots just broke off. I put the remaining plant in water to propagate some new roots then I'll repot it... so far do good.. day 2 im seeing new roots.. maybe its a better way to go! Let's see!
Pointless video. You overwatered a plant and try to revive it. We have all done that. The only thing that would be interesting is if the plant actually survived. Instead of telling us, you make ten more videos since - all probably equally pointless. I will never know.
I’m so sorry Allan I haven’t been able to do an update video on this. As I’m sure you could guess going into the colder season, the plants aren’t growing as quickly and Alocasias are going dormant so nothing really to report until recently. One of the bulbs survived! I appreciate your patience and hope this update wasn’t completely pointless!
What's pointless to you may be very informational to the next person or a first time Zebrina owner. Since the hobby has gained a ton of traction, this video may help save a plant or two as well as time and money spent.

I would use a smaller more shallow pot, and more pumice or perlite in the soil composition.
Great advice, thank you!
The pot is too big for that plant 😢😢
@@zandracavada9176 nothing to cry about lol
@@mustachadon just being overly dramatic lol!

Thanks for the comment! I have to say, this one is one of my favorites and it isn't looking promising!

Hi! Hope you're good! I'm super curious how your Zebrina is doing?!
Pot is too big id say... well draining pot needed.
Any news with your zabrina? Did he make it?
I think it's the pot size. Hoping she made it
I'll be doing an update video shortly! Stay tuned and thank you for watching (and your support!)
I had problems with my zebrina too. Less an less leaves until gone. Think it was too much watering.
it needs a lot water, dont let it dry. an you need a pot with a hole in the bottom so the to much water can leave the pot ... and you potted it to deap in to the soil, only the roots should be in the soil not the base!
Thank you so much for the tips!
Is that one the same as the Tigrina? To big of a pot.
Apparently they like moist soil and they don’t like when you dry them out. I just purchased one and I’m still trying to figure them out 😬
Wishing you the best of luck! These are tricky little buggers, aren't they! Thank you for watching and for your support!
I heard if the bulb is healthy but lose all the leaves it will regrow new shoot in the spring or summer time is that true?
you just planted it too deeply, the only rot I saw was at the base of the plant. pot it high, better to expose the top of the root, than to plant too deep.
Thanks for the tip!
So what happened?? Did it survive? On the edge of my seat, here!
Im about to do an update video, stay tuned to see what’s left of what was a beautiful plant!
@@wishlisthouseplants1490 I‘m curious too 😁
Well, I just posted an update comment on how everything did. My apologies for not getting a video together, my husband has been ill and I haven’t had the time to edit videos as of late. I appreciate all of your patience!
Only small pots first and a little bit soil

jeez that pot is huge, wasn't it just dormant anyway ?
Die Blume habe ich noch nicht gesehen😮
Hi how is Zebrina right now? Can you heal her?
Alocasia zebrina is beautiful plant 😁
I would say hmnn it's a variegated zebrina never seen before wow
Its a Yellow variegated Zebrina
the base need to be dry
Thanks for the tip!
Hydro peroxide
More fertilizer can create hot inside... U need more water to revive.
Great thought Garry! Thanks for the insight!
Maybe more fertiliser
Did it recover?
I’m about to do an update video, unfortunately not.
@@wishlisthouseplants1490 oh sorry to hear... I just bought the zebrina myself, so gorgeous. I got root rot on a peperomia..I took it out to have a look and all the dead roots just broke off.

Check out a simple technique that worked on my alocasias
It’s gone into dormancy
