Hi Rachel . I, too, think that it's a green shield. I also can see the difference in all of them . I like to call it being distant cousins yet nonetheless family . And let's face it , sometimes a plant is called by one name in one particular region and a totally different name in another region 🤷🏿♀️. We still love them .
Hi Linda! Happy Tuesday! 💓
I didn't think about that. They do get different names in different areas. That explains a lot of the confusion with a lot of plant names. There are some plants that I only identify with the common name, but not the proper name. Thank you for watching and sharing that!
I don’t know about the Alocasia genus, but my eyes tell me that all the ones you compared are different plants; hopefully, someone can ID them for you. Thanks for sharing Rachael!
Hi Carol! Happy Tuesday! They really do look different from each other. I love this great hobby. Always learning!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Rachael I agree with everyone all the plants looks different but great I don’t know about the black velvet but I do know I have the ninja it looks just like your. Can help with the other plants don’t have any of them but they are very pretty.
Thank you for sharing your alocasia! They’re so beautiful.
Thank you so much! Have an awesome day!
1:57 though costa farms and leafjoy have improved the genetics of the plants, still the Polly is the middle child. In my humble opinion, the Amazonica is the Queen. Polly the Princess, and Bambino the 🤔um.. the Jack?
Lovely plants, nice share, I like that cabinet
Thank you, Vee!
Black Velvet ♠️ and Ninja 🥷 are my heart ❤️
Rachael, when Amanda presented both on her channel two years ago, the two rings being the difference. 💞💕💝💖
Ooooo....I didn't see that one. Argh! I missed out!
All are so beautiful and happy
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Happy Saturday, Lisa! Thank you so much😄
Ok, Rachael will make my last comment while discussion Jaclyn, my wishlist. I so enjoyed your show today. Only thing missing is clone of yourself (omg 😮loved the walk off. Of course!
My final take: costa farms and proven winners (leafjoy) have proprietary engineering to make their plants better. By better, more pest resistant, better rooting system, bigger leaf potential, better than small growers without R&D departments.
LOL!!!! I have to get rid of those pests!!! LOL! Thank you so much Carlos. I really didn't think about that. I have noticed the leaves on their plants being unusually big. They have to rise above the competitors. There are bound to be other changes that happen as a side effect to the growth and heartiness encouragement. This is such a fabulous hobby. There is so much to learn! Thanks again.
Hola Rachael! So glad to see this video! Grabbing some kombucha and sitting back to enjoy the show 📺
HOLA CARLOS! Feliz Mates!
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy!
@@lotsofpots.Rachael fabulous from start to finish. Honestly, I just wished there was another you standing at the cabinet reaching in and handing, Vanna White style lol 😆
Feliz martes!
I’m just staring at your purple door!! lol I love it 💜💜💜
And your alocasia are beautiful. I don’t know too much about them. But the one I got from Lowe’s was called a black bender and looks like the one on your right
Hi Janee! Thank you so much. I love purple! Pink and purple are my favorites!
Yes, I saw your black velvet alocasia. It's a real beauty!
@@lotsofpots.Rachael in surprised it’s still alive 😆
Hi, Rachel! I purchased a mature Jacklynn a year ago from a private nursery.The leaves look like the one that you're holding in your left hand with no lobes. The tallest petiole is 31 inches
Ok..... my jaw just dropped! It has to be AMAZING TO SEE! wooooooooow! That is awesome! It must look like a small tree in your home. Are the leaves big as well, or are the petioles reaching for the stars on their own?
I love how you content creators freeze in your tracks when spotting a pest😂. I have one allocasia, spidermites scare me. I had a philodendron plowmanii i could not keep spidermites off
It went bye bye😢. I couldn't take it. Loved your video
Lol! Yes..... it's a big freeze moment! No pay on my pest buffet! Lol. Thank you for watching 😁
The battle is real with the mites. I understand completely.
💚
Hi! Thank you for watching!
💚💚💚
thank you for the green love GH!!!! Happy Tuesday!
Hi Rachael 😊 I'm watching 👀 ☺️
Hi Mona!!! Thank you
@@lotsofpots.Rachael I see what you mean. When you look at them side by side, the Jacklyns look different
Your plant is an Amazonica.
Amazonica lobes will resemble a Y and Polly will be U shaped(pointing inwards)
@9:18 left = green dragon, right= dragon scale
Alocasia Jacklyn = Tandurusa. The botanist has recently officially given it its original name; Tandurusa. The difference in look is normal. My plant have the slender and the broader leaves with and without the pointy lobes.
The new ones from costa (and other brands) are more consistently rounder/broader. I would guess that it’s due to tissue culture. They take a mother plant and clone said plant. If what they cloned happened to be a plant with the more rounder leaves, then that’s what will be produced and will stay stable so the variations in size/shape would be less pronounced.
Time for you to get a melo and a maharani.
Or a Nebula and Reginae. 😅
Wow! Thank you so much for this fabulous information.
It makes sense that conditions have created differences in Alocasia tandurusa. They are all beautiful.
I do have the Alocasia melo and a maharani. They are amazing! The texture on the two of them is amazing.
I will have to check all of my Alocasia amazonica and pollys for the"y" and"u" veins.
Thank you again for taking the time to share this great information.
I've also questioned the difference between the black velvet and the ninja. I concluded it was just another name and didn't dig any deeper.
Honestly, i felt the same way. when I purchased my first ninja, I thought it was just a mislabeled black velvet. When I looked up pictures of the plant, I saw that they were very similar in appearance. It's amazing that we can find so many different varieties. Thank you for sharing!
8:12 😢😭 just lost my DragonScale of two years. 😢😢😭
Silver Dragon, is the other. Recently purchased from Wegmans looks exactly the same.
Awww... I am so sad to hear that your Dragon went away. That is a hard plant. Mine was happy and big until I repotted it. It was so upset that it went down to one leaf. That really hurt.
Wegmans sounds great!
@@lotsofpots.Rachael Wegmans is from upstate NY, I believe. Hopefully, they will expand to your area. It's like Whole Foods on steroids.
Oh my Dragon 🐉. Thank God for memories and youtube videos. I can look back at what once was.
One day soon another Dragon 🐉 will come. Periodically, I stop by Ace Hardware and Wegmans just to see 👀 I don't need any more plants. The Silver Dragon 🐉 is my Dragon replacement. Yes, I need to keep telling myself that. Plus, I have a bunch a baby Silver Dragons from hirts garden online order that died. But 5 corms live.
@serenitygardenaviary good to know! I'll wait and watch for Wegmans.
I am happy that you are content with your silver dragon
Hi Rachel so I have 4 Jacklyn’s and they do not have extra nub? Also green dragon I have 3 only one does the silver the other two stay deep green so I think they maybe a different plant. In regards to Jacklyn maybe a TC issue? Given I have over 45 varieties of alocasia I tend to find people change names all the time so I literally have up close photos of each so I don’t buy same plant lol 😂 oh and TY cause I noticed some spider 🕷️ mites in my Jacky’s they are the worse lol the one outside doesn’t get them tho lol and I didn’t check that one for funky leaf shape if I notice it has I’ll let you know, mine all are from different places so not sure but I do like yours with the funky leaf :) Hope your having a great summer :) 🪴🪴🪴🪴
Hello to you, Thumpa! Woooooooow 45 Alocasia! That is awesome. It is amazing how much variety you can get from the very same plants. It is strange and wonderful at the same time.
I did not think about the TC factor. That is a really big one to consider. Yes, the names get changed all over the place. I have one of my Jacks outside as well. I would like to see how it does in the elements. I do find that putting them outside helps with a lot of the pests. Those bugs are faced with hungry bugs looking for them. inside the are allowed to run wild without our intervention.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing today. :)

Thank you, Oreg! Happy sunny 🌞 Tuesday
1:57 though costa farms and leafjoy have improved the genetics of the plants, still the Polly is the middle child. In my humble opinion, the Amazonica is the Queen. Polly the Princess, and Bambino the 🤔um.. the Jack?
That makes sense, Carlos. Which variety do you think I have?
@@lotsofpots.Rachael Amazonica. Leaves are bigger than any Polly I have. If you pump them with growth hormones like they do to chickens and cows, your Amazonica and Jacklyn will get huge like Claire and Leaf Diva.
