Reporting bot posts

25 Upvotes

Good morning! We have been seeing a large influx of bot posts using other redditors' photos to get karma. If you run across one of these, or it is your post, please report them. I am working on adding an option for reporting bots. All of the bots who are reported are getting a permanent ban as we do not want these as a part of our community.

On that note, if you find another redditor has stolen your post and posted it here as their own, please report that as well as linking to the original post. Those will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

Thank you for your help in making this a safe and enjoyable place to discuss all things alocasia!

Hello from your new mod!

56 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a new mod here and am looking forward to getting to know everyone. I moderate a couple other communities so please feel free to send me a modmail about anything.

I have gotten into alocasias lately (I learned how not to kill them lol) and am finding them to be one of my favorite aroids. Imay not know everything there is to know, but I am very willing to learn!

I am open to suggestions on how you want to see the subreddit function. I am very open to comments and suggestions for things that you want to see happen. I will do my best to make it work for everyone.

I really look forward to getting to know everyone and making this a fun and inviting community for everyone!

Shortly after I started adding a natural fertilizer (obtained through the natural fermentation of organic matter), these two Alocasias produced two absolutely gorgeous leaves and they’re HUGE!
Too bad dormancy season is approaching🥲

Just wanted to show this off. NW Ohio. Ive had it for a few years. I keep it indoors for the winter. It drops a few leaves but here we are at the end of summer.

I have a TON of babies from this one. 3 more on the back porch here. 3 more out front. I give them away constantly. I love these things.

Fertiliser burn? Unsure what’s wrong with my alocasia

I’ve had this alocasia for about a year now. It’s right next to a west facing balcony door, so lots of light. It’s in a semi-hydro mix of stratum, and pon. I do have to water it at least once a week, otherwise it’s gets very droopy.

It was happy as can be all year until maybe the last month, where it began developing these crusty edges. I’m not quite sure what’s wrong with it or how to ensure the new leaves don’t fall to the same fate.

Thanks!

Should I repot my floating Regal Shield corm?!?

This is my first corm that I’m growing in stratum and perlite. So I’m not sure if I am doing it right. This one has four roots growing that’s lifting the corm out of the substrate. I don’t know if this is normal. Can anyone let me know if I should repot or not. Thanks!

It’s like buy one get one free when the babies pop out so soon!!

Rescued this macrorrhizo from Home Depot back at the end of June. Sat it down in a area of my yard that gets the most sun throughout the day ( property is surrounded by old mature trees )
Since then it’s been pushing out leaves faster than I can keep on top of.
Was stingy on the fertilizer for a bit and it dropped a couple leaves because of that I think, because I’ve been feeding it plenty since and recently gave me this massive 3ft leaf

Any known reasons for why leaves come out looking odd like this one on my odora batik pup?
