I just realized I forgot to show the variegated Frydek lol. I moved it to my window ledge front and center to get bright light. I had moved it to be beside my regular Frydek but it dropped a leaf pretty quickly from lack of light. So it's getting a lot of direct sun now. It should perk back up soon. My jacklyn is on the other shelf under a barrina T5 and I have a black velvet I didn't show in my cabinet :)
Thanks for the great info. What state do you live in? Forgive me if you might have mentioned it before. I’m just now catching up on all your videos 😊
Glad to see Luna out and about!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Loved this video! As always, your alocasias are so exciting to see 😍
Glad you like them and thank you!! ☺️💚
Thank you so much for this video. I love love love your Alocasia’s! I started buying them because of you, so thank you!
I love when you have longer videos. Looking forward to it
Thank you so much! I tend to chat a lot lol so sometimes I feel like I make them too long but I love doing the longer ones 🥰
I just got my first alocasia last week so I was thrilled to see this video today!
Yay!! Congratulations!! I hope it grows well for you!!! ☺️🌿
My Frydek is getting a new leaf and I’m so excited! Thanks for all your tips!
You are so welcome!
I’ve been waiting for this video 🥹🫶🏼💚 love you Melissa! Hope you’re doing good.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it!! I’m doing better thanks for asking! 🤗 I was really down there with everything that has happened with Luna but glad she’s doing better these last few days 🥹
They look beautiful,happy for Luna💗
💚🌵🌱☘️💚
Thank you so much!! 🥰
So happy to hear Luna is having one of her good days and I’m wishing her many more of them! 🥰. All your Alocasias look amazing. Such an enjoyable video to watch. Many thanks! 👌🪴🥰
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to see her getting around more 🥰
I like how the video is segmented! Makes it easy to go back and watch certain section.
thank you so much!!
I'm happy to hear Luna is having a good day, sending you all love!! Your alocasias are beautiful!
Thank you so so much!! I love seeing her move around more and she overall seems happy! 🥹
You alocasias are beautiful!
Aww kitties! So happy to hear luna is having a good day! I look forward to updates about her, sending her love 💜
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!! 🥰
Your Alocasias are so beautiful!!! I only have 3 but I unfortunately struggle a little bit with them. Happy to hear that Luna was having a good day 💚
Thank you so so much! It's been the best seeing her more active these past few days 🥹
Love your videos and all your beautiful plants...hope to see more
Thank you so much! Of course!!
Love your alocasias ❤ they are definitely my favorite genus 😍
Thank you so much! They have always been a favorite genus of mine and I think they're so worth it!
This was such perfect timing! I repotted my Silver Dragon today and got 3 corms 🎉 I put them in a small clear nursery pot with moist spaghmum moss, then covered with Press N Seal. I’m trying a new spot for momma, 6-8’ from our West window (corms are on that windowsill)… I’ve been scared all day wondering if I did a good job 😂 Then this video posted! Thank you Melissa 🫶🏼
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes for your alocasia! Hoping you get growth on your corms in a few weeks! 🥰
I love the longer videos 😁
I'm one that kinda gave up on Alocasia. I have 1 still inside and 1 I put outside.
Thank you so much! I think they take a lot of patience at first because they don't get big right away and they tend drop leaves so it feels like they're never growing. Brighter light will really encourage them to grow better but I can understand giving up on them lol I feel that way with some other plants 🙃
Obsessed with your cuprea wow!😍
Your alocasias are gorgeous!!! Goals ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
❤🔥beautiful! Thanks❤🔥Your alocasias are so pretty, that face when you discovered those were not leaves!! I've never seen anyone have so many corms!! You must like that fertilizer, I was waiting to hear what you thought before I bought some ❤🔥Glad to hear Luna is feeling better!🐈
haha I was so upset because the last growth was a flower bloom too. Was so hoping for a new leaf! I feel like it's too early to tell with the fertilizer. I'm sure I'll love it and my plants too or if I see any difference. I'll definitely keep everyone updated on it!
and thank you about Luna! 🥹
You really have a green thumb ! Your plants ae all so healthy and beautiful.
Thank you so much!!
Your alocasias look amazing! 😍 My Alocasia Polly has been in dormancy forever and she is now down to 2 leaves... dunno if she will ever wake up😅 also I am glad that Luna is feeling better! Hope she will recover 100% soon 😽
Thank you so very much! aw, I'm sorry about your alocasia! I hope it'll grow more for you here soon!
New sub here from Australia 🇦🇺. Your Alocasias are so beautiful 😍
Thanks for subbing! This video is a bit old and a lot has changed since then 😁 most of my alocasias are in pon now. I plan on doing an updated video here sometime on my alocasias 🫶🏻
Your Alocasias are beautiful!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
How did I miss this video 😢❤❤❤❤
Omg, your alocasia are massive. I'm over here trying to graduate from the 3 leaf club lol. I think they need more light, also a little more water than I normally give.
More light will definitely help! So many of mine held onto 2-3 leaves at a time for awhile! It drove me crazy lol. I definitely didn't give them enough nutrients or light so it's helped so much!
Hi Melissa, thank you for sharing your tips. Do you have an alocasia black velvet? i just found one and I had to buy it lol do you recommend the same tips as for the other plants that you mentioned here? Have a nice day
Do you have a video of the unit you have? I love the propagation pots!
Alocasia are great. I have two. A quilted dream and a serpents tail. I’m guessing within about a year I’ll have a ton of corms on the quilted dream because the last repot I noticed around 10 corms coming up.
Well this video has helped me with the decision to break off the flowers on my Red Secret Alocasia I got it 3 weeks ago and suddenly it's pushed out 4 flowers 😮
That cuprea ❤
Hey. Melissa! I love your channel. So much great information. Your Alocasia plants are gorgeous!
I just got my first Alocasia Frydek so I’m super new to Alocasia. Im serious why you don’t want your Alocasia to bloom flowers? Any other reason other than it takes up a lot of energy? Just curious.
Thank you so much! 🥰 I mentioned in the video I didn't care to pollinate them right now because I'd rather have more leaves. Sometimes alocasias will kill off older leaves in order to keep the blooms alive.
Hope your kitty is doing better as this is 11 months from your video. I have a friend with kitties. They are older and have arthritis. If this is the case, your cat might appreciate a hot pad for pets. He has one that turns on only when they lay on it. Heat for arthritis feels good.
All of your plants are gorgeous! Do you have a video on how you setup your cabinet?
Yes, I have an Ikea Playlist! you can find the videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLYt1-9zY5oEw5M0oB6UdzlsEYXMcms_Lw
@@plantsbymelissa Thanks, I did go looking for it and found it. I am thoroughly enjoying your channel. Your style and taste is very similar to mine. I really appreciate your thorough demonstrations and highly organized approach. I've learned a lot from you thus far. Much appreciated 🥰
Two tips for using stretchy cord: pre-stretch or it might stretch out. When tying last knot, make another pass through the whole. That will keep it knotted.
May I ask what fertilizer you use? And also mix for plants, would really appreciate it thank you ❤
Great video. I was wondering.. if left in the pot will the Croms grow another plant right in that pot?
Thank you! Yes, they will eventually sprout but sometimes they grow up and out of the soil too so it's up to you if you want to leave them but I love growing them out 🥰
hello,i didnt quit hear what you called the medium you used for your croms.could you please tell me again what it is.
thank you
Your Alocasias are always beautiful 😍 Would like to know where you found the pot your Glorrisum from? Thanks for the Akocasia tips. 💚 pS Happy to hear Luna is doing better. 💚
Thank you!! 🙏🏼🥹 yes! It’s from Amazon it comes in a 3 pack and I got the 10 inch ones. Here’s a link to it :) www.amazon.com/dp/B097299YXN?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B097299YXN&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3NRFPAM6YR318&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin
@@plantsbymelissa Thank you 💚
What about Alocasia Jacklyn? Similar care to all other alocasia? Mine is a baby, in a 2in pot and just pushed two new leaves, however, the tips of the leaves are slightly brown (just barely). I have it sitting just a few inches from an east facing window and the humidity is usually 50-68%, temp is 68°-70°. I only water when she's mostly dry only using rain water, so I'm just wondering if I'm missing something here because of the leaf tips and I dont want it to get worse 😅 too much light maybe? I have t5 lights on shelves, should I place it under those? How far from the actual light? Thanks, Melissa! ❤️🌿
Love your alocasia collection. I love them almost as much as Hoyas. Just got a red secret and my jacklynn had a fit with transport lost all it’s leaves but a new one is on the way. Thank you for the information
You're very welcome! I hope the Jacklyn makes a comeback for you 🙏
Up to 83 degrees in that room ?! Do you not use central AC throughout your house or do you just close the vents in the plant room? I can’t imagine living in the south without using central air! (I’m in SC)
Where does one typically purchase the activated charcoal for plants?
Your alocasia collection is so good ❤ Have you got any alocasia in pon? And if so how is that going do you get as many corms with that medium? Hope lulu is better soon x
I haven't tried pon yet. I always want to try but never get around to ordering some and actually doing it. I think I'm hesitant because I hear about root rot with pon :/
and thank you so much!! so happy to get her out and about more 🥹
@plantsbymelissa My anthuriums love pon but it's hit and miss for me with alocasias, I think I feel more confident transferring young plants that haven't been in soil before to pon rather than marure plants. Your videos are all stunning by the way very professional and tidy
When is the best season to repot or transfer alocasia?
Can you do an update on alocasia's? My alocasia Jacklyn is struggling
Gorgeous
I'm talking about the owner😉😉😉
I only have cuprea out of 80+ plants coZ I like how it looks like. Hopefully it would survive coz I don't use humidifier, I only place mostly my plants under pots with saucer and marbles & water in it.
that's still a great way to increase humidity up around the plant! The cuprea is so pretty!
@@plantsbymelissa yup. Yes, ur beautiful cuprea was one of the reasons I purchased it, just last week. Thanks 😊
Quick question- so I ended up repotting and upsizing my alocasia poly which had two new growth points… they ended up turning brown right after the upsize and I’m so bummed. Do you just cut these off or is there potential for them to continue growing? It’s been a few weeks..
oh no I'm sorry! I would cut the leaf off just where it meets the stem and leave the stem intact. They'll produce a new growth from the latest leaf kinda how monstera delicosa does in a way. They also will sprout new leaves from the corms that grow off the roots. It may continue to yellow all the way or not grow but I would wait for it to do it on its own just in case :)
Hello
I have a question that In our country moss is so expensive so I can use coco fibre instead of moss for pole..
I haven’t tried coco fiber so I’m not sure how it compares to moss but you can always give it a go to see how you like it! ☺️
Have you tried joint supplements for the cat? Mine took half of the trader Joe's joint supplement that I find helped my older lady a lot.. our vet would also supplement potassium occasionally 😊
I haven't. Our vet didn't want her to be on anything with the medications she received. She's only 3 and they don't think this is arthritis. She seems to be improving more these last few days so thinking it was just some random virus but it was definitely so strange with how this all happened 🥹
My regal shield got a flower on it should I take it off.
It’s up to you 😊 the plant might not grow a new leaf for awhile or you may notice it focusing on keeping the bloom alive so it might yellow off an older leaf.
My bambino is still thinking it should be dormant. I see one new growth point. Based on your comments, I’m going to move it to more light and give it some osmocote to see if that helps it wake up.
It would definitely appreciate the light and fertilizer for sure! Keep me updated!!
Why did you cut off blooms? Advantage??
Nice Camera!
Thank you so much! I love the 4K quality of it!
Hi mel after watching your videos i buy alocasia cupria, silver dragon, dragon scale, black velvet, but dont know why only in 5 days all 🍃 melting now all plants no have any leaf🍃😢.
Melissa, you have a really big backyard, have you considered building a greenhouse.?
One day that would be amazing! I have considered it! ☺️
New to plants so might be a silly question but why would you not want the plant to flower?
What is the corom?
Do you think 50% humidity is ok at all times for the alocasia ?
They will appreciate more because they do love it but I think 50% is still okay humidity. If all the other factors are being taken care of to keep them happy and growing then they may not mind it ☺
I save the pollen stuff from the flowers in hopes I can get another alocasia to bloom as well and I can cross breed them. So far, only my Chantrieri grows flowers😢
My variegated frydek is being so weird. Every leaf turns away from my grow lights. I've tried blasting it with lights, further away from the lights. And it's stems always bend weird ways to look in weird directions 😢
That’s so interesting! I feel like i haven’t figured my variegated one out just yet. It’s still pretty new to me and still small but it didn’t like being moved from the barrina light. Hoping it likes the brighter light but if not I’ll have to move it again. My regular frydek loves the light.
How often do you water your alocasia.?
I mentioned in the video 😊
I didn't see the Black Velvet, I wonder what happened to it!🤔
I had to reroot it! I featured it in a recent video :)
Que linda mais porq vc tiro aqueles botão
Look for 6 inch long pots.
if u cut one bloom it makes 2 new XD i often wait and then cut 2 at once.. donno if thats makind a diffrence XD
Why did you snap the leaves off😢
Alocasia loves 60-80% humidity. Everywhere on the internet is saying that a home or room over 50% humidity causes mold, structural Integrity issues, and potential health issues. How do I keep my Alocasia happy and healthy without over humidifying my room?
Thank you! Yes, it's doing better than I thought!!
Can someone please explain why she is taking the flowers off? Does it harm the health of the plant to let it bloom, I'm seeing mixed information...
It can take energy away from the plant so it can yellow off older leaves to keep the bloom alive and it can also cause new growth to be smaller.
You e got a lot of alocasia corms.
Can you send me some cuprea corns ,i pay for them
My alocasia bloomed and then died 🙃 still no leaves growing back
oh no! It might have gone dormant then. Hoping it'll sprout a new leaf soon!
@@plantsbymelissa it’s in my cabinet so I am just very confused 😂 the stem still looks alive and green so fingers crossed it comes back. I was so sad when all the leaves started turning yellow
😢
Why do you snap off inflo’s? Alocasia’s tend to have the most beautiful flowers. They took all the effort
I don’t plant on pollinating them right now and they take away so much energy to keep them alive. I had kept blooms on before and the plant yellowed older growth and wouldn’t push a new leaf so after I chopped it it grew better. I like the leaves more 🫶🏻
Disappointed because a plant is pushing Flowers 🙄.
lmao .i thought your thumbnail was photoshopped, but those leaves are actually that huge!
excellent job. your plants are so amazing.
💚🪴💚
haha no not photoshopped. I took it off my camera when I was filming :) They are some pretty big leaves! Thank you so much!! 🥰
