I’d love to get a new Azlanii, my first baby didn’t make it My Tundarusa (Jaklyn) went dormant when I switched her to semi hydro, I left her alone with a low water reservoir and she started popping up a bunch of leaves this spring!! I’m so grateful she’s one of my absolute favs Was having trouble keeping and sizing up leaves on my Cuprea (in a chunky soil and terracotta pot) until I added moss to the top of the soil, as soon as that moss is dry I water her, she’s popping out leaf and big leaf now! I’ve just picked one up without a tag that looks like a shorter Heterophylla, maybe a Bisna? Similar leaves, with the lobes and shoulders but shorter and a tiny bit wider
Ooo I’m also going to try that with the jacklyn, she hasn’t given me a new leaf in ages. Now that I’ve upsized her pot, I feel like it’s going to be even longer. Cuprea has always been such a drama queen for me 🫣 I’m not giving up though but I’m seriously contemplating of keeping her in a soil mix instead of semi hydro… Yes from what I’ve looked up that’s probably the Bisma variety 💚
Yessss love when the algorithm drops me more alocasia friend! I own all of those, except Clypeolata, which was so funny because you were so like next 😂😂 I'm glad nebula has been easy for you. Mine has been a Lil... I doubled down and got a couple of varieties to see which is better!
The clypeolata actually dropped that last leaf, so she’s just a stump now 😂 the nebula has kind of stopped growing for me.. but I still have to repot her 🫣 which variety worked best for you?
@@myjunglestory 😭😭 all Imperialis , and the base one MELTED after a re-pot, this time I just put them in a bigger pot and won't touch until it's bursting haha
I recently ordered a Alocasia Dragon Moon, received her as a plug and have had her 2 wks. I transferred her into fluval immediately and she was doing good but now, the 2 little leaves are drooping. This is number 2. I’m not sure if I should put her into Lechuza or let her be in the fluval. I’m afraid she is going to unalive
When we bought the dragon moon, we transferred her straight from soil to lechuza pon. She didn’t give us any grief but she was already a good size. She wasn’t a baby plant anymore. She also had a ton of corms but non of them survived 🫣
I want to get another alocasia but no matter how diligent i am (like daily) I can still see at least one mite. Any suggestions or is it just the way it is? It was labeled a black stem. I get good growth so far. Not just the token 3 leaves.
Hello Jacklyn from Puerto Rico!! First timer on your channel and just subscribed. I just started my English speaking channel and would appreciate your support. I also have several Alocasias. I also got my Mickey Mouse small but now has 3 leaves. You have a nice collection!! 🪴🪴🪴 All my Alocasias are also in Pon.
Hi! Thank you 🤩 of course I love supporting other fellow plant parents. I’ve watched your houseplant tour videos. Beautiful collection, LOVE you monkey tail cactus 😍
I’m using the semi hydro coarse mix from soil ninja and I love it. Lechuza pon is also one I used for a while but I found there wasn’t enough aeration, so I would recommend one with bigger stones 💚
@@myjunglestory Ok. Im new to semi hydro. I just transferred all of my Alocasias into self watering pots. It’s difficult to water them to their liking. So, now they can water their damn selves 😂
@@myjunglestory oh ok ! Thank you. Can you please advise me on watering my alocasia ? I just got an alocasia yucatan princess and I’m scared because I’ve learned that they are not the easiest plants…My room humidity ranges from 40% to 60%.
@@thanostsarbos1197 honestly that’s why all my alocasias are in semi hydro, I really struggled with over watering. Let the first few inches dry out before giving it water again, but never let them dry out completely. Yes I used to have a YP but it rotted away, I had it in a very dense soil mix. If yours is also in a very dense I would recommend repotting it and use a more airy soil mix.
@@myjunglestory If the soil is dense, does that mean less frequent watering ? edit: i think the soil she's in has a lot of peat moss (newbie to plants here...yes despite that I got an alocasia ^^' )
I loved the video.
When touching plants with pest wash your hands before touching another one just in case.
Nice collection.
I realised this afterwards and ended up cleaning and treating all of the Alocasias just to be sure 👌🏼😊
Great collection! I have all of my alocasia in no drainage vases with a layer of fluval then my extra chunky pon/leca mix. They've been LOVING it.
I might try some of my back up Alocasias in leca. What’s the pon leca ratio that you use?
I keep mine in no drainage in PON with a leca layer at the bottom so I can see the water level.
I know the new plant as the Mickey Mouse taro but I’m no expert 😅 lovely collection!
Thank you 🤩💚

Omg my wishlist is also the pink variegated black velvet😍😍
So beautiful isn’t it 🤤 I’m hoping to find one at my botanika in May 2025 😍

I'm also a collector of alocasia. Why not pot up your doubles together to have fuller pots...it's what I did and I luv the look of fullness
I should do that, I’ve been doing that with the rest of my collection and it does look really good 😍

If your scared of losing her I would move her to spagnum moss and then once she has a decent root system move her to your chosen substrate 👍🏼

What treatment have you used?
Good growth is positive, she is obviously not letting the spider mites bother her.

What pon mix or brand do you recommend?

Are those drip trays your water reservoir?
Yes, not very practical but it works

@@GreenWitch1 haha yes they are difficult ones. Semi hydro is going to make it so much easier for you
11:00 what is dry rot ?
I don’t think it’s the right terminology but it’s what I call it when they completely dry out and then you water and the roots just turn to mush.
