    Please stop apologizing! It’s actually really helpful to see plants that aren’t pristine and see what went wrong and how to fix it. I love your content because of that.

      It's a culture thing, some of us have grown up where it is important to show you care about others by apologizing. Hard to explain, but basically that's it, showing respect and humbleness.

    I've been watching your videos for two weeks now and I really enjoy watching. It's very informative and you show the results of your propagations. Your videos really helped me a lot how to care for my new plants. I'm Nathan and I'm from Philippines and my Zebrina really like fast draining soil. I water my Zebrina everyday sometimes I even water twice a day depending how hot the day was. I always cut the leaf when it starts to yellow. When propagating alocasia I prefer waiting them to have babies I can't cut my alocasia I don't have the courage. Thanks for another helpful video. 😊😊

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  3 роки тому +1

      Cut back on watering, and try to increase light even if its using household lightbulbs. Also check for spidermites often when indoors. It should recover so long as its roots arent rotten

    Been watching tons of your videos. thank you!! One question is the propagations with sphagnum moss. Once you put the cut-up rhizomes in the moss (water squeezed out), what is your watering regime after that? if you do water, wont the water be soaked up in the moss and making it soggy?
    Wont that rot the roots? I am kinda confused and hope that you can help me out. Thanks again!

    • @onlyplants

    This is a perfect video on what I'm doing today with my new Alocasia Frydek that I got from a going out of business nursery in Waimanalo four days ago. The leaves of the plant immediately died when I took it home so I unpotted it yesterday, and left the corm and root sitting in distilled water. So now I know to cut the leaves off and plant the corm in an orchid mix potting soil, right?

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  Рік тому

      Oh yes they should have roots… its probably root rot from overwatering or dried out completely?
      One way you can revive it is to try water propagation, or put the plant in sterile media like perlite or moss, and then cover the entire plant in a clear bag/container to prevent moisture loss from the leaves.
