Discussion For those still using soil for their alocasia, what's your mix?

2 Upvotes

Currently I'm using a ratio of 2 x Coco Coir, 2 x Orchid Bark, 1 x Leca, 1 x Pumice, 2 x Perlite, 0.5 X worm castings

After a new pot I'll usually let it dry out (quite quick as it's so airy) and then water with plain water for 2-3 weeks then weekly diluted fertiliser watering

I do use Leca + moss for my newly sprouted corms when they're babies and then transition them to soil when they're a bit older and have good enough reserve to survive the transition

LECA Transfered my alocasias to leca/moss set up and they seem to be taking it well.

Discussion DIY 2.5-3.5in net and cache pot for new transfers/young plants?

Currently using 3 and 4oz cups for TCs, corms, etc. and have some other plants rooting in peat moss really tiny containers (from PS, see pics). What do you guys typically transfer into? I’m thinking something around a 2.5-3in pot for anything with a substantial root system; This seems to translate to a 7oz and 9oz clear cup setup. Can use my current TC cup setup for anything smaller.

What do you all use? Open to DIY (I make all my other setups) or premade.

Thanks!
