In this video I take you through everything I've done to care for my alocasia frydek variagata and how I managed to get it out of the one leaf club! I struggled with this plant for a really long time, but after a year of owning the variegated frydek now, i think I've finally managed to figure it out and get to know what it likes, and what it doesn't like. I hope these tips and trick help for this houseplant, and do let me know in the comments if you've got any questions!

I‘m from Germany and this plant is getting quite cheap here! I bought my baby Frydek for 30 Euros and it has stunning variegation. A German online shop is selling Frydeks in L Size for 49 Euros at the moment. They are absolutely beautiful
Hey, I'm from Germany too :D and I too bought a Baby Frydek for 30€ just Yesterday 😂 may I ask where you got yours from? I got mine at urban Jungle and I can't wait to see it!
I got a HUGE one from Harmony Plants for 50€ :)
I too live in Germany and have seen the Harmony site. The price is really good. Amazing how inexpensive they’ve gotten. I bought a humongous ( 9 leaves and 8 babies) on Kleinanzeige and although I’ve had success with the green “Frydek” this one is a Unkraut!! It grows very fast so that I will soon have to repot it. Good luck.
@@mableleaf2445 I got mine from Urban Jungle as well! It‘s been living in my room for almost 2 months and looks great :D
I have a problem with too many pups. It’s almost Dec. and this plant is pushing out crazy pups. I’m contemplating repotting it but I’m afraid she might go into dormancy? She’s growing in Semi Hydro Lecha and the leaves are humongous between 38 and 43 cm. The glass vessel is overflowing with ca. 13 babies. What do you think? 3 of the 8 leaves are bending down and I believe they’re on the way to the light although they’re not browning or loosing Color. This is the first winter with her so I don’t know how she will react. What do you think I should do?
Those new big leaves are absolutely gorgeous!
Perfect timing I was lucky enough to find one yesterday!
One of my favourite plants!!
I have a small one and 2 medium sized ones from a couple of different sellers, and thankfully they’ve been doing well since I’ve had them (a couple of months) :)
I just repotted one into semi-hydro and discovered that it’s working on a couple of corms so I’m hoping they’ll be ready to harvest soon 🤞🏻😍
Yours is absolutely gorgeous!! 💚🤍💚
I just got this plant myself, this video is great to get me going!! Thank you!!
It is crazy how much the prices dropped! The Frydek Variegata was always on my wishlist and I just bought one that is at least as big as yours, if not a bit bigger, for 50 € from Harmony Plants :)
Ayo you didn't have to say "bigger than yours" unless you're trying to make her feel bad
I am so excited you posted! Ilook so forward to allyour videos. Please post more. lol
Yours is stunning! Great video.
I had a similar experience with my Cuprea when I got it home. I had researched beforehand and everyone had differing experience and opinions. I was ready for a real battle. I sat it nearby a sunny West facing window (southern hemisphere) in a chunky aroid mix and it hasn’t looked back. No tantrums, no need for excess humidity. Just give it sun and keep up the water and it just takes care of itself basically.
I haven’t quite cracked my silver dragon yet. It hasn’t had a tantrum but I’ve seen zero growth since I owned it. Parked it next to my Cuprea to see if it responds equally as well as that one.
Thank you for this video, Claire! I got a little one of this last week and I’m in love 🥹 I also put it in semi hydro and so far it seems happy in it!
Gm gm gm 👋🏾. New to the plant family. I enjoy your channel its very informative and joyful to watch. Thanks for the information it's truly helpful 🤗
My alocasia’s LOVE semi hydro 🙌🏽✨
Thanks so much for this Claire I have many allocaisia. all in pon under normal room conditions would love a variegated frydek 😊
Claire I have learned very much from your videos. The Alocasia is my favorite species but the Frydek variegated is my favorite plant. It grows like a weed but it has to be content with its surroundings. It also grows in moderate light too. Light that’s strong enough to read a book is great. BUT the real key to this baby is semi hydro. I love playing in soil but I am slowly converting all my Alocasia to semi hydro with Lecha. I find Pons to be too condensed and although I did mix some Perlit and Lecha to it, it wasn’t doing the nasty. They seem to love Lecha I believe because of the airy moist environment? I find it interesting how the next leaf is most times larger as the prior leaf. I presently have 9 with 5 being 40cm or more and 8 babies. I have a large glass container which in sommer will be broken to repot her. They’ve gotten so “Inexpensive” in just 1 year though. I wouldn’t suggest buying a huge baby since with the right care they will obtain that in no time. One tip: If growing with semi hydro and a glass container be careful of the sunlight on the roots because they will be damaged. I use a sheet of paper to block the sun and the roots are huge and white. I believe the reason for dormancy as well as hanging leaves is too little watering or letting it dry out too long?Thanks again for the info.
You're so lucky to have your standard room humidity at 50-65%! Mine is that WITH two big humidifiers😬 If the tank is left empty the humidity falls to 40% in fall and below 30% during winter. I didn't have to keep the humidifiers running during summer.
Thank you for your precious advices, i am in the process of bought a beautiful Alocasia Frydek Variegata, 95€ for 6 super big leaf ! Enormous ! (I'm in France and prices are really okay, there is prince under this for a beautiful plant, but THIS, wow.) I will take mine to the celler in the week, héhé
I already have Variegata with my Monstera Deliciosia but okay, no it's clear for this plant 🙌 Thank you !
Dream plant 😍
This is my wish list plant
I only just got a frydek as my first ever alocasia a few months back. My experience with it must be a fluke or something. I got a little corm as a freebie from another collector. I was keeping it pretty warm, cozy, and moist while it sprouted. I decided to keep growing it in LECA as it developed. I have been keeping it in pretty bright conditions and it seemed to do very well right on my south facing window in a Wardian case. I have moved it into my IKEA cabinet and so far it seems happy. We'll see how things go but I've had amazingly good luck with it thus far. Watching this video seems to corroborate some of my decisions if it's worked for Claire.
Darn you! Now I have to get one!
Just ordered mine today. Wanted this plant for a while now. … I could have got one full size plant, but opted instead for three baby plants, to give me more chance. Once settled, they go into Pons. Have my Soil Ninja ready but the finer grade.
I’m in the process of transfering all my alocasia to pon👌🏻
Nice! 😊
Perfect timing! I got a corm for only 10 euro's yesterday! I already have some experience with growing plants from corms, but that was mainly for zebrinas, do you think it will be similar as all alocasias? Or also a bit different?
I love your plants and your channel! You are funny, charismatic, smart, relatable, pretty and seem like all around a good person! I’m so mad YT hasn’t suggested your videos till a few days ago 😭. Could you possibly do a video about Joya compacta? I want one sooooooo bad but have no idea a bought them. 💖💚
Gorgeous plant. They are getting cheaper as well, saw lots the size of yours at Intratuin in Duiven, NL for 70 Eur last week.
I bought mine at Intratuin Rhoon. For 40 eu. :)
Wat toevallig zeg! ik heb daar vorige week mijn eerste varrigated plant gekocht. Frydek dus. Prijzen zijn weer duur geworden maar ik heb geluk gehad en heb hem gekocht in sale voor €40 in duiven. Afgeprijsd van €89🤯. Mooie plant heeft maar een blad met wat witte vlekken, een nieuwe blad is onderweg en daar ben ik blij mee!
Hi Claire - I’d love to know what process you use to transfer your alocasia to pon (mainly if you did a transitional period where it didn’t have a water reservoir, and if so, when you knew it was ready for a reservoir). I’ve killed so many plants now in the attempt to transfer them to pon, including a couple of poor little alocacias and my first anthurium (clarinervium) :’(
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this beauty. Do you happen to know what the foot candles might be about a meter from your south window? TY Claire 💚
Hi Claire,
I love your channel and of course the subject matter!
I also purchased the same plant. Semi hydro is something I am familiar with, but not for Alocasia. You stated to keep water in the inner pot, approximately how much water do I keep in the reservoir ( 1/3 of the depth of the inner pot? )
Also, when do you add more liquid to the pot? You don't allow the plant to dry out?
Please let me know and keep up the good work.
Thank you, George
This video was extremely helpful! Thank you! Any advice on new leaves being yellow instead of white?
I soo needed this video, thank you. mine starting to get sad and I would believe it could be due to the less hot room and less sun here in sweden. I do have few babies in mine and could steal some and try some options on chunky/leca stuff. I'm not sure if it's good to change "soil" during fall/winter, still new to plant life. if someone has some feedback, happy to listen :D
My normal Alocasia Frydek not loving life, yet I'm watching this video 😂
This was an amazing video! Thank you. I just got a frydek and dragon scale both albos, do you know if dragon scale is about the same? Can i use just pon on its own?
Please tell us more on the predatory mites
In your intro you have a lovely plant with clusters of small round leaves (a Hoya?). I only have ten plants, two of which are jade plants that I grew from my mum's. It would be so lovely to know what the plant is in your intro and if people think it's reasonably easy to keep. I watch all your vlogs and they are fantastic. They are a substitute for me having plants (I go away a lot). Thank you
Three months late but I thinkkk this is a peperomia hope (at least, it looks like mine!) and they tend to be pretty low maintenance! 💜
thankyou very much. i will go online today and add it to my small collection... which has shrunk since I left the message. two casualties from my Christmas get-away ;-) @lauren5317 @@lauren5317
I got a baby one of these with 4 leaves and when I got it I out it in semi hydro and under my grow light as it used to be under one from the person I got it from. The oldest leave is now yellowing and dying off, do you reckon is just from still being acclimatising to my conditions and the new substrate or am I doing something wrong? I love it so much don't want to lose it.
I’ve just purchased one of these and want to put it into semi hydro. Would you recommend waiting for a bit to let the plant acclimatise to its new environment before repotting?
Thank you!
Hello! Love you! I am wondering which plants you enjoy as small plants versus which you want to grow out to be as big as you can. E.g., I love small, 4" pots of peperomia hope and yet I want the biggest spiral cactus I can grow. I'd love to know your thoughts on which plants look their best small and which you want to turn into monsters! :)
I WANT A VARIEGATED AL💚CASIA FRYDEK...SO I Wanted: TO KN💚W AB💚UT THE C💚DE!!!
How do you water please? Do you water through the pon or just top up the reservoir? Your Frydek is so beautiful
What differences in care do you think there are between frydek and micholitziana if any?
Pls talk about if any leaf browns at the end because it's not full green
My frydek grows one leaf and then when the next one comes the first leaf dies! Love that you wear ya hair down in videos
This is a watering/ nutrients issue. Try converting her into semi hydro. I believe this is the best substrate for Alocasia. Once the roots are formed it grows like a weed.
I’m holding out for a really gorgeous one at a good price but it’s getting harder and harder to wait. 😂
how often do you water with fertelizer
Can i put it in pon right after buying the plant?
Hello i have very important question, have u used some ph balancers for water or was it just tap water???
Hi Claire. I'm trying to find a simple beginner plant for my sister (she tends to overwater them). She really likes colorful plants and wants one that low maintenance. She has a south-facing window so light wouldn't be an option. Do you have any plants in mind that you could recommend? Thanks for the videos! I always watch your videos after a bad day because you're such a positive person and your soothing voice makes me feel better + seeing your jungle of plants hehe
Hello there :3
I would suggest, that she should think about investing in a moisture meter. If she tends to overwater plants, a moisture meter can be a big help for getting things right. And if she likes colorfull plants, why not get her a tradescantia? They are pretty, hardy in my experience and propagate very easily in water :3
Have a nice day
A colourful plant that loves being watered is a coleus! They come in so many colours and varieties and they propagate in water within days.
I would suggest buying a plant that’s in Hydro culture. I’ve been a soil Person too by Semi hydro is the best.
I wanna try out the things you said but I’m so worried to switch mine to semi-hydroponic because she’s a baby 😭 do you think she’d be okay or should I wait?
I just got this plant about a month ago and she grew a new leaf! The white on the new leaf looks slightly yellow... is that an indication of too much sun?
Did you transition it somehow into pon? Or just rinse the soil off.
I need this my frydek is not doing good even thought i give her good care and everything root healthy but she is so finiky
In Poland this plant costs 18£ now in dyskont called Biedronka ;) check it out
does it like misting?
😊
help i have had great success with mine but it did something it never did before and idont know what to do i think i a blub
How do you find having a non-self-watering pot like that? I was doing the same thing with my frydeck, just a nursery pot with pon sitting in another pot with water at the bottom... and it started rotting? I had to switch to an actual self-watering pot... I wonder what I did wrong..
Don’t say that! Thats what I have my frydek in right now lol
I just got a baby in pon, she is about two inch leaves and two leaves. $40 I have no experience with alocasia at all and I'm so scared I will kill it or not be able to size it up
You say you’re diluting your nutes to half strength. That would throw the ph off. are you monitoring your ph? it’s obviously super important as you’ll end up causing lockout and lack of certain nutrients
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What fertiliser do you use when using semi hydro?
I'm also interested in an answer. I'm trying to get into semihydro and regarding fertilizer i found everything from "never ever use an organic fertilizer it will lead to stinking bacteria in the reservoir" to "just use whatever you want"
Vancouver it is $40
I grow my alocasias in perlite as i had no luck with soil.
21 euro it is sold here in Ukraine from hands.
I’ve been putting off watching this. I knew you were going to say semi hydro. 😢
Beautiful varigation!!💚🤍
Your collection is just amazing, really enjoying your channel. Apparently varigation is here to stay because I just watched a video on @onlyplants where he did a video (1st a series I think) at the FLOII 2023 Indonesia Plant Show and it was almost ALL varigated aroids!! The new "it plant" seems like it's going to be the varigated anthurium and they were WOW🤩!!! I've never seen so many varigated plants. One was over $10k US!!!!😳
Thanks for this informative video. I brought my first one a few months ago and it’s still in the moss it came in but has already given me a new leaf. I want to try pon but I always rot my plants in it. Would really love an in-depth video into how to use pon. Partially how to avoid rotting, I’m scared to transfer it over until I have mastered it 🪴
I found useful the tip that first you need to treat pon as soil for a few weeks, just flush it with water without keeping it in a water reservoir.
@@marta_kedra I’d not heard of doing this before but that does makes sense. So would you flush it every few days? I find it hard to tell if pon has dried up. I take it that helps the roots adjust to a water intake only?
Thanks so much for replying 🌱
@@sianrenaud8800 my dry pon becomes lighter and kind of whiter in colour, it stores moisture for quite some time so I would water as usually, about once a week, depending on all the other factors. This method helps the plant to get used to a new substrate and gives time to make new "water roots" with lower risk of rotting. Also I found it crucial to clean the roots well of all previous organic substrate. Good luck to you, take care :)
Thanks so much! I will give this a go
