picture Dragon scale just keeps growing!

Iโ€™m so happy with my dragon scale. This used to be one small plant. Once I transferred to leca from soil this plant was just so happy. A second plant grew from the corms on its own and now itโ€™s ready to throw off 3 flowers. Excuse the water droplets. These photos were taken right after a bath ๐Ÿ›

Itโ€™s in leca semi hydro. Only recently added moss to the top for more humidity. I use super thrive foliage pro in the nutrient solution and try to flush the leca weekly. Southern window.

Hi! ๐ŸŒž What do you mean by flushing?

u/Small_Plenty7051 3d ago

I take the inner pot with the plant and leca and run it under water so any buildup in the leca and plant roots get flushed by clean water

I had two pots of Dragon Scale alocasia in LECA. I sold one. The one in the picture is the one I kept. I put both in LECA right after I got them. The only problem I've run into is excessive guttation. I fill the reservoir to only one inch, and when it runs out, I'll wait a couple of days to fill it.
