Growing alocasia dragonscale from rhizomes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- I randomly bought half a kilogram of Alocasia dragonscale rhizomes at a very decent price. Not having any knowledge or experience, I decided to root it and film the process (and film it lol). I insert some care tips on this jewel alocasia throughout the video. How many of the rhizomes actually rooted? Watch and find out!

These videos are fucking great. The updates, the quality, the frequency. Man, you're a powerhouse.
Haha thank youu 🙌🏻
Yeeeeesss!!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
You have the plant instincts that all of us want. I love how you make a full video from start to finish, it’s so awesome to see your projects from beginning to end!
Thank youu
Yessssss same. Some youtubers make a video of propagation and will leave you hanging if they did survive or not 😅
You are now my new favorite plant youtuber.
Thank youu
SAME!!!!
Of course you succeed, you’re the propagation king.
I love it! Thanks for always sharing the growth progress of your babies!
That’s gorgeous👍you’re such a pro.well done .love it.thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
I just ADORE you and your videos! Thanks for sharing!!
Congrats on your new babies! What a green thumb. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!
This was such a great video. Alocasia dragon scale is at the top of my wishlist now for just over a year. Also, I love that you find beauty in the fungus
I enjoy your channel very much! Soothing voice and the updates throughout the weeks. Keep the content coming! :)
Thank youu
Great experiment & awesome outcome 💯 now thats the absolute best you could ask for, plants look nice & healthy, thanks for the information you provided.
truly some of the most unique plant content on youtube, so fun to watch! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for coming along! I’m just getting started 😀
Pretty sure you're the most likeable plant tuber. Your passion is contagious.
Whoaaa thank you
I enjoy your videos. They are very calming. And i also enjoy the way you love looking at baby leaves.
Thank youuu
Finally a video about Alocasia Dragon Scale !!!
I've always been curious about the best potting mix for them. I'm afraid to buy rhizomes from Kalimantan, for fear of failure. But since you've tried several different potting mixes, I can now try them too. Thank you Sean, I really appreciate it 👍
How cool to see how they grew in the different substrates! Going to watch your Forest Floor mix video next!!!
Alocasias really thrive in forest floor mix. They want constantly humid soil that is never wet and never dried completely 😀
Really enjoyed watching your experiment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank youu
Kudos! Nice video having the patience of recording from start to the latest situation of ur plant. So nice seeing u doing this kind of vids! 😍💯
You are my favourite UA-camr. Your videos are so informative, funny and relaxing! I love the background music, its like meditation, your videos.
Thank youuu
the web-like parts of the fungus is called the mycellium ! i think each strand is called the hyphea, and the pretty red parts are actually the mushroom, or fruits of the fungus. i know it is not good for the plants, but it is so interesting to see ! lol :)
Haha they will kill a plant so quickly! 😅 my number 1 enemy
A majority of plants actually benefit from mycorrhizal fungi in a mutually beneficial relationship! :) Hyphae is the "root" system of fungi- long fibrous strands that allow the fungus to obtain water and nutrients, while a mass of hyphae are referred to as a mycelium!
Amazing results in such a short time!
First time viewer.....Loved your video....loved your honesty .....and I’m a lot like you I like to see what I can grow, and which experiment works the best......I’m hooked....can’t wait to watch more of your videos....
Thank youuuu 😀❤️
Just love watching you do plant things... your hilariously real... especially when you don't really know what your doing ... but your doing it anyway!! Love it!!💚
Haha sometimes we just have to jump in the water with no floating vests on 😂
@@onlyplants exactly!! But I'm safwatching from the boat!!😅💚
You are so lucky to be in Indonesia! Lots of Alocasias and Other rare tropical plants
I'm so jealous, such beautiful babies, I wish that I could just hand you the money through my phone and collect one through the phone screen, if only it were so simple !! 😁😁
Same....
Today I was checking on my alocasia collection, I m a new tropical plant enthusiast an d I always search indepth info on all my plants so as to be able to take good care of them. Sean I must tell you honestly your videos are by far the best !! You give clear informative and to the point ideas and info!! You are a plant saviour!! Thank you sooooo much!!!
Thank youuu. More alocasia videos are coming!
@@onlyplants 🤩🤩🤗❣️
Awesome video! I love how you show the update in the same video! I just cut my alocasia and Im so excited it works :) Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you. Ive got some alocasia extreme propagation vids that is filming. Stay tuned for those 😀
Thank you for sharing your tips on how to grow alocasia dragonscale.
I really enjoy the format of your plant experiment videos. You show the progress from beginning to end, all in one video. A lot of other UA-camrs show the day 1 then ask you to check back in 6 months.... hmm in 6 months I'm not going to remember or may not be interested anymore lol
Love watching your content, I always learn something 🤓
Haha yes I love this format too. Its a log for me as well.
Wow! Never seen that fungus, it’s really really beautiful!
I am jealous of your climate. You are very lucky. I live in Colorado USA and mine has barely grown to your size over 1 year. But I do love growing them. I like that you experiment, that is really how you learn
I love how you always say "hello" to the baby leaves. ^^
Haha they really make my dayy
Interesting success propaagation. You have a green thumb and enjoy watching your vlogs. Happy saturday.👏👍😊
Thank youu
If I had been there with you at the time of planting I would have suggested planting the tubers on their side. Interesting results by planting them both ways. Cool that multiple shoots sprouted from the horizontally placed tubers. Love to see how the plant form takes shape as the sprouts all mature.
Yeahhh Its interesting to see multiples from the side. My suggestion after this experience is to plant them based on the shape of the tubers, sometimes slanted might be good too.
Hi Josie! 🐕I had a dying Alocasia I never knew what it was. I thought it was black velvet but I never got bulbs when it dies I got tubers. When I put them under the grow light they weren't dead they sprouted in two weeks.Thank you for advice and inspiration!
Yeah alocasias livelihood is in their main stem/rhizomes. Leaves arent that important 🙌🏽
We had them for sale at a local hardware store wish I would've purchased one. Might go back and get one if they still have any. Yours look so beautiful. I did get a Pink Dragon Alocasia at the Supermarket though.
This species is very expensive in a Thailand. You are amazing in propagation. Love this video. Hope I can find some rhizomes back home.
Woww! Great video!
You’re are the best bro I have same plant indoor but it’s not growing well only one leaf
good day. thanks for the interesting master class, I have never seen how it is germinated
Your hands are MAGIC! I tried propagating Alocasia Heterophylla and It rotted.
Hi Sean, love your content:) greetings from Poland!
Thank youu 🙌🏻 hope ya’ll are staying safe and well there
I like ornamental plants, for lovers of ornamental plants which are these, I am a lover of ornamental plants from Indonesia, greet you all
Wow!!! Those popped up so quickly!
WOW You're a master in propagation haha SO COOL! Please keep us updated on instagram on how they grow more. They are beautiful right now but I bet they will look even better in a month!
Thank youu
hi sean! wow amazing plants you have very nice...fr. Philippines😍
Thank youu
Awesome
Thanks this is what i need. Ur experiment verry helpfull. Now i know vertical position and forest floor media are the best. 👍
Actually a lot did well slanted too! 😅 even giving multiple growths within one rhizome. I guess it depends on the shape and size of the rhizome
@@onlyplants maybe i have to experiment myself.
Have u ever try using "pasir malang"?
I've saw from youtube someone using "pasir malang" to plant rhizome. It more save cz it sterile and doesn't make root rot
Love your video, as always. I want to have that alocasia too but all that I have is cuprea and sanderiana. Love from Philippines ❤️
Wow, the fungus creeps me out but hypnotized me at the same time. I too planted colocasia bulbs I got from a big box store and they are sprouting 👍🏽I'm not sure that I'll take them outdoor 😅 cause pests
I've propagated 3 rhizomes and only 1 grew. It had 2 nubs until i accidentally knocked it off and now only 1 left. The baby leaves are so pretty!
Fantastic, great experiment. I just bought a Dragon Scale and with shipping it cost me $100 CAD.
Shipping is a pain 🙈
Your video is very good 👍👍 I love it.
Thank you 😌
This year this plant (Alocassia 'Dragon Scale' ) is almost everywhere and affordable.
It's very pretty, but in my climate the leaves burn easily. So outside, morning Sun, inside East or West window Sun, or behind a shear curtain if south.
Yeah they are so fast to propagate, also if Im not wrong they are coming in hot from tissue culture
Very nice video my new friend. From Philippines. Ty
Nice sharing video friend.full support see you around stay safe always have a great weekend
So many future dragons!!!
Had bought a dragon scale a few months ago and it died no matter what I did. Thinking I should buy the rhizomes instead and have some better humidity. Thank you your success with them.
Yepp rhizomes are better in my opinion. I killed so many jewel alocasias because they didnt adapt after shipping.
Hi handsome Sean :)
Thank U so much for doing such before and after. Care to show us yr forest potting mix? 😘😘
Hello do check out a video titled forest floor potting mix on my channel 😀
Fantastic and super helpful as always. Did you fertilize in the beginning stages
Slow release fertilizer. So its not getting a ton of nutrients
I’m sure your propogating will work! I’m just wondering if they will be the alocasia dragon scale that you want ~ hrmmmm
Omg you're speaking to me. I've been looking at alocasia dragon scale for my next plant! Is this a sign?!
Nice!!!!!
Nice video, great plants with great man👍💯
Do you have Alocasia Jacklyn? Hope your next video will talking about this plants soon! 🙏😎☘️
I dont have the jacklyn yet 😀
Hi my Chinese croton is doing better now. Thanks for the tip of bright sunlight.
❤️❤️
Hi sean, do you re-use the soil medium after you done with the propagation? Or just use "fresh" soil mix to repot them?
Reuse 😀 if they are not pest or fungus infested. But sometimes I do treat these soil and use them on other (cheaper) plants.
Another informative video. I've tried propagating the rhizomes a couple times and they've all failed :(
Having the right substrate and moisture control is key. Dont give up 😀
My dragon scale has some yellowing tips. I'm thinking it had too much to drink. The new leaf looks great, the tip is just a little dull green though. Lmk if you have thoughts.
Yeppp it could be overwatered. They like constantly humid soil but never wet
DAMNNN I HOPE THEY GROW BECAUSE DRAGONS ARE SOOOOO PRETTTTYYY
Hello! Great videos!
Do you ever include where you have bought them from?
I got them online locally on tokopedia, unfortunately they do not ship internationally 🙉
I got a Alocasia Antoro Velvet bulb from Indonesia! I hope I have the same results.
Yes you will succeed
😀
Where did you get these rhizomes??? i wanna buy some omg
Omgee Thanks for this. I used your forest floor soil mix in my alocasia cuprea and they've been pushing out leaves non stop. I wonder where you bought the bulbs and if they export. I'm from the Philippines. 😄
Hello i have no experience with international trade so am not able to recommend 😅
Your videos are the best💚 updates, quality, details everything thankyou for sharing 💚💚
Thank youuu
Amazing one again man! I am just wondering how i could set up the Forrest floor soil. I live in Europe and basically none of what u use i can find here... maybe a next video idea for us Living in Europe? Cheers and keep up
I would imagine bark, coco peat, lots of perlite... to replicate airiness and loseness. Maybe a bit of shredded moss in the mix too
@@onlyplants legend!!!!! Ok easy thanks once more
@@onlyplants bark or Clay peebles doesn't matter right?
Hi, i love watching ur videos😍 can you drop where u bought them, please? Im from indonesia too
Hello do a search “bongol alocasia dragon scale” on tokopedia and you should see it. Not many stores carry them 😀
🌓Hey there, I truly love your channel, I am also plant lover very additive to it. Lol. We will be moving to Florida soon, I am having my second set of major surgeries there and I’m also going to have flower farm and plant nursery. I have learned so much from you and I want to say thank you so much. Also I was wondering what kind of camera equipment you are using? Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings to you and your family sir.🙋🏾♀️🦋🪴🌴
Hello, I have a video titled “plant photography”, I have a feeling it will help answer your question 😀
Good luck with your surgery hope you make a speedy recovery. And that nursery sounds so good!
@@onlyplants 🌗thanks so much for your kind words and I appreciate you leading me to my answer about the camera equipment.🦋
Others: Ooh, wow alocasia!
Me: Oooh...whats that sparkly purple killer fairy dust! 🤩
Same here, what's the purple dust? @leafing.around I love your videos too
@@desmondlee9287 hello there! I googled 'Furadan' - a systematic pesticide it seems. An equivalent that I use here is 'Starkle G' from Thailand. I am undecided how much and how often to use....they are v effective but also kill everything...disrupt ecosystem or save our leaves...difficult choice.
I see, I am using starkle g as well... Good point on the killing everything though
They probably will go into our rivers and lakes and oceans too 😅
@@onlyplants and then maybe we swim in it and drink it! Karma man...karma😔
hi Sean, how often did you water those propagation gangsta? by spraying or deeply watering?
Never deeply watering, they just need to be humid but never wet or in compacted soil. Hope this helps. Also my humidity outdoors is 80-90%
Wow
Normally the rhizomes are cut or chopped into a few smaller pieces or in Indonesian it's 'dicacah' lol I've watched a video of an expert before (the channel is Sisi Lain Tumbuhan) who grew this kind of rhizome in the water and it also produced so many shoots in short amount of time. Maybe you may want to check it out! That's a really beautiful growth of the plants, btw. Wish me luck with my rhizomes! Thanks for sharing! And your doggo is so adorable.
Omg i need to check it out. Thank you!!
@@onlyplants you're welcome!
Hi sean, im from jkt. Plz link whr u bought them. Love ur videos!!!
Hello, I cannot link anything since I dont want to be responsible haha. But you can search “alocasia bongol” on tokopedia 😀 I just buy random ones
What is the name of the purple stuff fertilizer please? Great video. Thank you..
The purple stuff is carbofuran, its a controversial pesticide actually… for fertilizer I use slow release under Osmocote brand.
wow that's very interesting Sean thankyou. But what about aglonema? is the treatment the same as alocasia?
A little bit different but aglaonemas are easy too. I’ll have videos on this soon!
aaaaaaaa oowwkay yohoo can't wait
hi Sean, i used to have an alocasia cuprea (baby size), but it didn't make it... I don't know what have I don't wrong..
Does cuprea require different treatment(as compared to other alocasias) when it comes to care?
appreciate your advice, thanks!
The care is quite similar… they like extremely well draining potting mix but kept lightly and evenly moist throughout (think of it as humid media rather than wet). They are more prone to fungal infections in my experience, routine fungicide or neem oil spray is a good idea.
Ótimo 👍🏿
I cant find a video on rainforest floor soil. Can you tell me what u use . What's the difference between that and aroid mix
Hello, do look you a video titled “onlyplants potting mix” 😀 theres a lot of details in that video
Wow 😍
Hi there, can you propagate a dragon from a propagated plant or only from the mother plant?
thank you!
You can propagate them infinitely dowm generations of plants. The child will have exactly the same DNA as parents as they are clones. Unlike in seed propagation where you get genetic differences from parents.
From the time of propagation to the time it grow new shoots and roots, how should I take care of them? Do I put them in a shaded and dark place or placed them where it can get indirect light? If the soil medium gets dry, when I spray water on top of the soil medium, can I also spray water on top of the tubers? I propagate my tubers by putting them in aroid soil mix in plastic cups ( without holes) and covered them with another transparent plastic cup. Then I placed the cup in a corner with low lighting. There hardly seem to be much growth after more than a week. Am I doing the right thing. I am from Malaysia. Thanks
Hello I think no need to cover the pot as they are quite prone to rot and also our humidity should be high enough. Keep the soil slightly humid/damp but not wet nor compacted. I spray mine down lightly daily. Shade or brightness dont seem to affect it as I have grown them in different areas. Your biggest concern should be fungus or rot, which are always due to overwatering or too much organic material in the soil 😀
@@onlyplants Thank you.
You suceed .
I am surprised that you just put them on to the soil, will try this too .
Always fun to watch you .
Love Your dogs too.
I am German and are Your dogs Dackel ?
If so its a German breed right ?
Love Your positive Vibe man.
Love from Germany:) .
Thank youuu. Yes they are mini daschunds. Very very naughty haha
I have planted two of them at least a month ago but it is doing nothing at all.😔I did checked it once removing out of the potting mix and its absolutely fine. Is this ok?
Give it some time and never overwater it. Some take longer than others I think.
100 % success
Close! Haha
@@onlyplants :-)
Does the store you bought these rhizomes from ship internationally? I’d love to try these out myself.
They don’t unfortunately. See if you can find any reputable stores that do 😀
Hi Sean, Can i plant my Alocasia Jacklyn rhizome using the same method as this dragonscale rhizome?
The anatomy should be the same 😀
I thought that a lot would die but after watching the video I guess I was wrong ^^
Always confusing which side to place this Alocasia bulbs on soil! 😅
Yesss but doesnt matter which side i think they will find a way haha. I noticed that multiple shoots will appear
Hi, i'm from jakarta too. May i know where you buy dragon scale? Thank you
On tokopedia hehe
i just bought mine yesterday! are they okay with morning sunlight from a west facing window?
They should be able to handle both. Be careful of west windows it can get too sunny so it depends on the size of the window and how far they were away from that window
