Thank you so much ! Perfect timing. This has been in the back of my mind and some of the advice on the web was suspicious 🤨 or not clear any way…. I love how you explain things and walk through different scenarios . Again Thank you I really appreciate you!
I’m so happy to hear that, Suzann! 💚 I know there’s a lot of confusing info out there, so I’m glad I could clarify things for you! 😊 Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching! 🙏🌿
Excellent video, great information. ❤ love the visual presentation and also easy to listen to. 🥰 tysm for another beautiful visit in your conservatory 😊
Very helpful video, as always, Memo. 🙌🙌 I like to give my Caladiums that winter rest, but I will just leave them dry all winter in their pots in the dark until I see the new growth starting. I will then repot into into fresh soil gradually increasing the water and light. If I will need to split them, I will unpot the corms and store them dry in newspaper all winter until spring along with my dahlias. Last year, none of my Alocasias went into dormancy, but this year it seems that several are in need of a rest period, so I will chop back the leaves after they've died back, chop the roots, dry the corms out completely, and repot into moss and perlite. They will then go under growlights and regrow when they're ready. 🤗
Great info. As this will be my first full year with my indoor plants this will help. I have grow lights throughout, will that make a difference if I keep them on through the fall/winter months?. Thanks again😀
So glad the info was helpful, Kelly! 🙌 Yes, grow lights can definitely help-keeping them on during fall/winter can prevent your plants from going dormant, especially with species like Alocasia. Just watch out for overwatering! and the plants need to not have the lights on them during the night 💡🌿😊
Haha, I love that Dave! 😂 Dormancy is real for both plants and humans! Thanks so much for watching, as always! 💚🌿 Also big time congrats on 2K 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I cannot abide ugly looking plants, they tank my mood like nothing else. If plants bring me more stress than joy, I get rid of them, be it by giving them away, or throwing them away. I hope my alocasias won't go into dormancy, because I don't want to get rid of them, but I wouldn't know where to put them. Hopefully the grow lights will help!
I totally get it! Plants should bring joy, not stress 🌿✨ Keep those grow lights on through the colder months, and hopefully your alocasias will stay in their active phase! 🙌 If they do go dormant, just think of it as a plant nap! 😊💡
Hey Memo! Quick question if you did have an answer. I have a coffee cup/tea cup Colocasia and it seemed like it was going dormant, but has just given me a cpl new leaves. The new leaves have been taking a longer than usual time to unfurl however, I just gave it another drink recently and was curious if I should be holding back on water now or do you think I should encourage it's newer growth? Thanks in advance and hope your well across the pond, cheers from Ontario Canada :)
Memo, I´m really happy to see that your Alocasia baginda Dragon Scale is doing so well 🙂

Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you found it helpful! 🌱💚
Very informative first winter with alocasia I wonder if they will go dormant??
Thank you, Claire! 🌿 It’ll be interesting to see if they do-Alocasias love their naps in cooler months! 😅 Keep an eye on those signs of dormancy!

Thank you, I actually write on calender when I water so no mistakes as well have a moisture meter,finger is too short😂
Thanks for the information. Well said.
Helpful video Memo 👍 Many people throughout plants thinking they have died when they are just having a rest. 😀🇨🇦
You’re so right, Linda! 😅 So many plants get tossed out when they’re just taking a nap! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! 😊🌿
All my alocasias
They sure do love to go dormant, don't they? 😅 Hope the video helps with your care routine! 🌿💚
I just want to see the video. Thanks, Memo
Glad you enjoyed the video, Agnes! 😊 Thanks for watching! 🌿
Ok got it, cool. Now can you please teach me how to do the rest of my life? Oh awesome! Thanks so much! 🤗
Haha, happy to help with your plants-life lessons are a whole other video! 😆 Thanks so much for watching! 🌱💚
@@Houseplantygoodness I’ve surely learned how to accessorize
Dormancy is a natural part of the lifecycle here in Iowa ... for about 50% of the human population 🤣 Another banger, Memo
Haha, I love that Dave! 😂 Dormancy is real for both plants and humans! Thanks so much for watching, as always! 💚🌿 Also big time congrats on 2K 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
