Is it ok to leave outside in shade ?

@samyb2834 7 күн бұрын

Just bought an Alocasia and the edges of the leaves are starting to wrinkle. Is this normal? I live in Florida and the temperature is always around 75f in my apartment with the AC on. I also put the plant close to my window. Thank yoj

@plntfriends 7 күн бұрын

75f should be fine. The direct sunlight might cause some burning to the leaves though, they don’t like direct light in my experience unless very hardened to it over time. Also make sure not staying soggy!

I just bought a bag of espoma organic perlite. Do i need to sterilize that prior to placing my cakes in the tub?

@plntfriends Ай бұрын

Hello, I am unsure what you refer to with cakes? If referring to mushroom growing, then yes, I would sterilize unless your cakes are 100% colonized and at no risk for contamination.

@plntfriends OK thank you. Yes they are fully colonized and I am currently soaking them in water. Tonight I will roll in vermiculite and place in the tub. Thank you!

When we bought it there were 8. There are two plants in one pot. Now there are only 5 leaves left. I will say, the plant does look healthy otherwise. The 5 remaining leaves stand very tall. Whereas the other that have died have all hung very low since we bought it.

@plntfriends 2 ай бұрын

Interesting. Generally isn’t recommended to be used as a fertilizer and it has low nutrient contents compared to the high level of sugar that it is comprised of. Risk of fungus and pests is greatly increased with a sugar rich environment. Hopefully your success continues!

Great video -- and I just subscribed to your channel! But one question: why did you say at the start that you thought the greenhouse would be good for 3-4 years? Why wouldn't it last longer? I have a 16x8 shed in my backyard that I would LOVE to convert to a greenhouse, but not if it's only going to last a few years! Anyway, thanks for a really nice video! :)

@plntfriends 4 ай бұрын

Mine is still going great. I believe I said that because our shed was already fairly old and not in the best condition as it was. I didn’t really repair or improve the shed exterior where I left it as shed. I could probably spend a bit of money on shingles and ply wood to revamp it. Maybe that will come in a video next year 😂. Mine has actually lasted better than I anticipated.

@thedevo01 6 ай бұрын

Dear viewers of this video. There are a few key details that were forgotten here: Because Alocasias are super fussy, you need additional things not shown in this video: - You MUST make a 50-50 mix of soil and perlite for maximum drainage. DO NOT plant them just straight into the soil as in the video. - For EVERY PLANTER you must place a layer of rocks (of 3-5cm or 1-2 inches) on the bottom to create a "buffer" for the water to separate from the roots of the plant. Even if the pot has drainage holes, yes, because if you don't, the soil substrate can clog the drainage holes and make it harder for. theatre to leak out. - They are VERY hungry plants that, when fed (fertilized) correctly, keep shooting new leaves like there's no tomorrow.

@plntfriends 5 ай бұрын

I don’t find them all that fussy, maybe I’m lucky. Having rocks in the bottoms can cause the roots to sit in water promoting rot depending on circumstances.

Hi thanks for the video. Quick question. I'm pretty new to plants and I have just bought my first Alocasia. Do I have to replant it in a bigger pot like what you have just done or leave it in the small original pot. Sorry for sounding silly but I have no clue 😅

@plntfriends 8 ай бұрын

Good morning, Not a silly question at all! You can definitely leave it in a small pot, but that will somewhat limit the size it will grow, and you might find yourself watering quite often. If you do want to pot up, a good way to check when it’s time is by letting the soil dry a bit, and removing the plant/roots/soil/ from the pot to check how root bound it is. If rootbound it is time. Much love! Ty

Hi there! I found you cause my little elephant ear that I’ve had for about 6 months is dying suddenly. I’m new to plants, but I watched your video. I think mine started dying after I moved it from a central location to a window location a few weeks ago. (Perhaps too much sun and not enough water?)Can you help me nurse it back to life? Will it recover after main leaves are brown and withered? It’s had no new foliage since I moved it. 😢

@plntfriends 8 ай бұрын

It should recover if you keep the soil slightly moist but not wet. It will sprout another shoot from the root corm. Alocasias like to stay slightly moist and do not like direct sunlight that much. I would move it back from the window a bit and give it time. Maybe it will have already recovered now?

Beautiful Pink Princess Alocasia. The Pink Princess has pink stems with green backs to the leaves. The Pink Dragon looks very much the same except with Purple backs to the leaves. While Alocasia love moist soil, not wet soil, I have found that bottom watering helps keep the rhizome healthy. Too much moisture to the rhizome (especially if contains a death cage with peat moss) will cause it to become mushy and death will come quickly.

@plntfriends 10 ай бұрын

Great info to add! Thanks for watching and sharing these tips! I agree that bottom watering works great.

@AraceaeFanatics 9 ай бұрын

According to The International Aroid Society, there is no 'pink princess' Alocasia. There is however a variegated 'pink princess' Colocasia that was originally a noid, and was labeled this for resail. It is not a recorded scientific name. As for 'pink dragon', Alocasia lowii 'morocco' I have several, and they have mottled pink petioles with a medium green arrowhead shaped leaf with pink hues under the leaves. There are however other noids that have been lumped together with this species bearing a similar resemblance. .
