The leaves on the Alocasia Frydek looks so magnificent with those white veins. It looks so heathy.

It was so hard to focus on you talking cause your kitty was so cute how he/she kept rubbing on you 😍😍😍 I am in no way complaining tho, love to see it! Thank you for making this video. I’ve been wanting a Frydek specific care video from you. Would you make a video on moving corms from fluval to soil and how to know when they are ready? Maybe with progress videos like moving them and then 1-2 weeks later and then 1 month later or something of the sort would be cool 😊 Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤

Thank you for doing this video! Your plants love you. They’re so robust and happy looking. Thank you, too for explaining how you grow the corms in Fluval and the way you water them. Would love to see a follow up of how they grow in Fluval and how you transition them to dirt and their success thereafter. Wish we could attend a class, with you as the teacher, and do the steps along with you. Would give some confidence and motivation to get gears in motion. Also would love the cats to help with the class. 🤣 They’re very sweet! Thank you, once again, for sharing your expertise and experiences with growing plants. You always create interesting video’s! 💚

The Frydek in this video is amazing, definitely leader of pterodactyl flock! I think Frydek leaves look like pterodactyl heads. Mine is struggling a bit due to the lower wintertime humidity in my home but it will be ok. I keep it in the master bath for the winter to maximize available humidity. Have a very Merry Christmas.

I recently bought a 2-pack of 500g silica Desiccant to dry out my newly mixed ‘soil’ because my coco coir was hydrated from a brick. It worked so well! I just used a layer of paper towel to keep it clean. You can microwave it to ‘recharge’ and reuse it and now I leave two in my car too to reduce condensation when it’s cold out :)

I can't ge my Frydek past two sad leaves. I just cut mine of and set them in PON to see if this does the trick. To propagate corms, I use Fluval Stratum, this stuff is miraculous but don't let it dry out.

I love the Frydek so much. Yours is super beautiful. But in my house, it's 30-31 degrees celsius. It grows bigger and bigger constantly, but the leaves sort of "melt"(not the stems). So eventually had to give away and now it's thriving with lower temperature. I really want one, especially the variegated one. 🥲 If only this could withstand 2-3 hours of direct evening sun like my other Alocasias, would've put it outdoors.

Great video as always! Do you keep standing water in your fluval or do you let it drain out?
@plantsbymelissa Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I don’t let it drain out :) I water it until almost to the top and just keep an eye on it. When it starts to dry out some I’ll give more water. I did set some up like how you use leca but I find they still dry about the same.

Hi Melissa, there are more than four frydeks (2 mature ones and 2 younger ones) in my 7 inch pot. And I do believe it’s a bit root bound now. Do you think that I should separate them and repot? And happy holidays!!!

Happy holidays! If you separate them it might shock the plant some. We’re not in the growing season here so I would wait till spring if you want to divide them up. I like the full look so it all depends on what you want with yours! :)

Hi Melissa, This plant is not an Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek'. This is an Alocasia micholitziana 'Maxkowskii' or 'Green Velvet'. Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek' are the variegated plants. I know that they are mislabeled everywhere I feel like we should try to give people the correct names whenever we can.
