In this video I share my full Alocasia collection, plus discuss my care requirements and the successes and failures that have led me to understanding this fussy genus. I also cover propagation and show you all the plants I have grown from corms.

I'm so thankful for your video! I'm fairly new to alocasia and have had success with growing corms and even spidermites cannot steal my joy with this genus. 😊

My cuprea's leaves just faces down when I expose it to the same amount of light as every other alocasia in my collection. Did you experience this with yours as well?

I think the stems don't seem as sturdy on the cuprea and the leaves do tend to need more support in order to get them to display nicely 💚

Cupreas do not want as much light that is why they droop downward. Moving it further from a window will help. I'm speaking from experience! It prefers just a bright room.

Hi, i just want to point out that you shouldnt tell people to cut off the flowers from Alocasia. The flowering process is necessary and if you cut it the plant will just replace it with a new flower as oppose to growing a new leaf because it wants to reproduce and thinks that its flower is just damaged. Lastly, by the time the flower actually emerges, the plant already used all of the energy making it! Once it emerges the energy is already gone.

That's interesting, I've always cut them off and then got rewarded with a new leaf. Always open to hearing other points of view 💚

@wyldhouseplants blooming is a hormonal cycle that Alocasia go through. You may get a new leaf but it won't be as big or shaped as nicely as the last because that hormonal process was gravely interrupted. Cutting a bloom usually triggers an Alocasia to throw more blooms. By the time a bloom emerges it's used all of the energy to create that bloom (from within) that we think it's using to bloom. Once the bloom dies because it wasn't pollinated it recycles beneficial nutrients back into your plant to create a stronger healthier plant. Cutting the bloom because it uses too much energy is a myth that youtubers and influencers made up to sound knowledgeable but the real info is easily google-able.
