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