I went from thinking my one Frydek was on its deathbed to now I have 9 and can’t care for them all ☠️
Since I finished filming this video last week, I’m happy to report that every single corm from the sextuplet bunch has sprouted and 4 of the 6 are fully variegated, while the other two are still too young to tell. Not bad!
This Variegated Alocasia Frydek was truly “the one”. It completely started my interest in variegated Alocasias, which is why it was so heartbreaking that I didn’t realize she was rotting in LECA.
While I still do have other Alocasias happily living in LECA right now, my conclusion from this learning experience is that Alocasias have very fine root systems that are sensitive, and so when my Frydek got root bound, it subsequently started rotting.
Moving forward, my plan is to transition my Alocasias away from LECA and back into soil. While LECA is considered the “no-brainer” medium because you can just leave a reservoir of water and never worry about over or under watering, it’s not without its setbacks. You need to make sure your PH levels are appropriate for plants growing in LECA and you have to always remember to provide nutrients because LECA doesn’t have any (unlike soil).
I’m not swearing off LECA completely - just not for my Alocasias.
I am so excited to see the progress of these corms though. Most will eventually be re-homed because I do not have the capacity to care for all of them so stay tuned if you’re interested in snagging one of these!

Although there is root rot, could another reason your frydek was drooping because it grew to be too close to the light source inside your cabinet? I’ve watched videos where people who are amazing at taking care of alocasias would say that sometimes if the leaves are drooping downwards- almost like it’s trying to hide it’s leaves, it could be it is receiving too much direct light. I’m only bringing this up because there were more healthy looking roots compared to the rotted ones. Frydeks are so sensitive to repots- so I’m not surprised it rotted back into a no leaf stump ☹️

@ohtheplacesyoullgrow 3 ай бұрын

They are so sensitive!!! I’ve heard of the dropping due to light issue before as well. It was never an issue for the past 1.5 years before with this frydek in the cabinet so I kinda want to rule it out but WHO KNOWWWWS

@ohtheplacesyoullgrow 3 ай бұрын

My friend who has a lot more experience with Alocasias in LECA said the root systems are just too delicate and they rot easily. In my situation, the frydek was already stressed from being rootbound too so it just threw a fit!

@andrearea213 3 ай бұрын

Frydeks are so hard! But you have insurance x 6! I love alocasias for that. Have you ever tried the "shallow puddle" method for corm propagation? I just put them in a little dish of water with a plastic cover on a heat mat and they usually sprout roots in ~2 weeks. I then keep them in water until they open the first leaf (usually only 1-3 weeks after the roots start) and then transfer to pon. Seems to only take about 4-6 weeks from corm harvest to pon transfer with this method. I've tried sprouting in stratum before and after 2 months of nothing, I got impatient and moved to water and had roots and a leaf a few weeks later.

In general you prevent root rot by ensuring your soil is well draining and they you are managing water appropriately. In my case, the frydek was not doing well in LECA and I’m in the process of slowly transitioning all my Alocasias away from LECA. This isn’t to say that LECA is bad. I have friends who successfully grow all their Alocasia in LECA, but for me in my environment, it wasn’t working.

I mean the crystal clear pots becaause the planters on her site are crystal clear,most are not even clear because i have bought quite a few feom them. The only really clear pots i got are the scalloped planters, which I do not recommend.

Don’t Alocasia go dormant during the winter? Yes, even under grow lights.

Not always! Most of my Alocasias continue to grow year round because the tropical conditions are consistent in my greenhouse

We get it you have real kids but we’re not here for that! Don’t risk hurting yourself on the stairs just to prove you have kids lol. And let’s not be graphic trying to relate the plants to human babies / moms 🙄

Tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids 🥸
