Alocasia Bambino Care Tips and Propagation - WITH UPDATES! 

I learned more about propagating alocasias in the first two-thirds of this video alone than I've learned from the countless other videos I've watched on here. Thanks for being so informative and passionate about your plants.

Love the way you say hello to all the surprise/baby plants.

I love how involved and hands on you are! You are super engaging, informative and honestly my favorite plantuber! I love that your updates are in the same video too!!

I am glad I subscribe to you! When spring comes I’m going to check mine. I’ve had it 3 years now and it’s doing well. I paid $1 for it off the clearance rack. It was rotting. I cleaned it and loved it and got rewarded - thank you for sharing this today.

OMG you're a saviour! I was just wondering what to do to my Alocasia portodora because it has grown so much over the years that it's growth point is 20cm over the soil. It's really difficult to find information on what to do when the ...tuber? gets too big for your pots. The answer is right here get to cutting! A wholehearted thank you from Finland

Hi ! I have a question for those who grow Allocasia Bambino Arrow. I bought one two or three weeks ago, and regarding the biggest leaves, the pointed tips are starting to be slightly yellow/ brown, but overall they're fine ; regarding the smallest and the newest leaves, some of them are fully yellow now, and dying. As it's autumn, I only water it every 12 days, but I don't leave the plant's soil dry ; regarding the light, it's a very bright room, and the Allocasia is near a big window thus there's few direct sunlight in the day. Would you think it's a lack of humidity ? Or too much/not enough watering ? Please help me out on this one, love it to much to let it die :) ps : thank you so much for you video I'll follow your advices !!

Sorry Sian,I got mestake in one of your vlog when you introduce Alocasia Bambino, I sent a message to correct you, that it was a polly, Sorry,you are correct,that was really Bambino.

Wow! This is one of the most successful propagation videos you have done I think 😁. I don't own many alocasias (just 2) because they always die on me, or the leaves turn yellow when a new one appears, and I don't enjoy that behavior haha. But after watching this video you have inspired me to give them a second chance :D

Lain kali ngomong nya pake indonesia aja. Biar ga belibet.. Aku tau ko kamu faseh berbahasa indonesia

Literally every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. I thought polly was the common name for the Amizonica; I didn't realize there were 3 different plants. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Full watch your vedio

Hello sir done tamsak padikit ng house pls

A lot of good planting tips. I'll move mine to the backyard patio where it will get more light. Originally I kept it indoor east facing window and it grows fine but slow. Will see whether the new location will make it strive better.

Agree that alocasias like more light than most websites say. The baby bambinos are so cute!

Just saw the video...I just purchased a Alocasia (🐘 ears)...have you experienced any droplets from the tips of your plant

how do you “train” the plants to tolerate so much moisture in the potting mix? my plants always get root rot even when i’m watering less frequently than you say. My bambino is getting water once every 5-7 days!

I'm glad I subscribe to your channel. Watching from the Philippines.

I looooove ur Videos!!!!! Thank u so much and keep in making more 🤍 the fact that ur videos are so authentic and you are so urself in the videos, you get so excited sometimes that u jump from One topic to another 😂 but we love it, we love ur video. And I love that u show all the updates in one video 😊. Also I just got myself the same plant. I had no idea what it was but i had a feeling it would be a great and easy plant so thanks for all the info 😊. Also, my one is going to have it own baby in the same pot so I am very excited 😆. I have a question, do they like their pot to be a bit tight or not they prefer it to be very big ?

Great video. Alocasia propagation videos are such a feast. And wow... cutting the bulb of full-growth alocasia, only found in Sean's video. I will never bear to do it.

I love ur videos. Always so informative. Ur my go to when i need knowledge on a plant. 👏👏👏

Hi, thanks for your video. I have a alocasia that looks just like yours and when I bought it there was one leaf opening and then it sent out a second leaf, the problem is the two leaves never opened fully at the tip area, it is still dent inward just like your bent leaf on this plant your showing us and it been over 3-4 weeks. I don't know what going on, what do you think? Thank you

😂😂😂 Yes, I am very glad to be subscribed to the channel...Always learning new things from you 💕☺️

Sigh the spidermite magnet. so very true.

I just bought mine from Home Depot I wish I could’ve saved them all smh they were all fell over and brown spotted I just repotted how do I care for the brown spots?

I didn’t know bambino could get this big!

I loooove the updates! It's amazing to see the plant grows up!

I love how you said “hello baby bambino” I would have said the exact same thing. So cute. Awesome video!! I can’t wait to try this.

It hurt my soul when you took off those leaves :(

I have an alocasia Polly that suffered a terrible accident. I was shaking the plant over a white paper to see if it had spider mites (no spiderites )but the plant broke off. The stem separated from the roots completely 😭 The bulb/corm is intact alongside the stem and the leaves on the stem but it has no roots what should I do now ?

07:25 Who knew alocasia bulbs scream like birds when they’re discovered.

Oh 👌 Wow thank you so much for sharing this information about this beautiful 🪴 plant

Hi thanks for amazing video could you please recommend which activated charcoal name to buy it from amazon because this is the first time i heard about it and don't Know which one in amazon thanks in advance for your help

This is probably the healthiest alocasia I have ever seen! Learned so much!

I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait for it to grow. One question, can you plant white hypoestes in the same pot as the alocasia? or will affect the plant.

You are the best went is came to explain about eney plants love it's 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Thanks for video. I have one Alocasia Polly, loved it, but it started to loose leaves. Didn't know what's wrong I do. I'll try your recommendations, hope I can save them.

Hi Shwan, I have some good learning for Alocasia Soils and for my anthurium I am happy that the winter is coming and I am going to repot them soon....

OMG The spider mites. 🙄 Slow release pest control in the so a is brilliant idea. Gonna do that! Thanks!

How do you wash the entire plant roots and all before planting in a crested gecko vivarium?

And you probably the best at explaining and showing us the methods of plant care I have seen on you tube.

Благодарю сердечно!Очень интересно! Душа радуется : столько красоты!))Подписалась!))

Had a dead one and found all them little baby's, planted them at different depths and just threw them in. Month later few came up and dug em all out to see and every one had a sprout. Now there all planted right lol

Hi I just bought one today can you tell what kind of soil is the how much water they need and do they need a lots of light and what kind of container is the best thanks

Wow Wow that's a good jod 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😊

hi can you provide the link for your forrest mix...thank you!

Valuable information, just bought one for myself ❤

Some people say to put mosquito bits into the potting mix. Others say to sprinkle a bit on top of the soil, just on the top. What do you think?

Does anyone know the name of the plant in the bottom left corner? the one with huge leaves and variegation on the leaves

My 2 alocasia pollys have 13 & 14 leaves. I absolutely love them. Thinking of converting to DIY Pon after dormancy.

I killed two bambinos. And look what you have… 😩😩

My Amazonica gave me bulbs that I propagated in a shallow pont of a taperware . They all sprouted and then I potted them in potting mix and they are just fine! Lots of indirect bright light is the trick for bigger leaves! Thank you Sean for this super informative video!!!🙏🙏

This was incredible!

What would u recommend for curling leaves and loosing the maroon colour?

I enjoyed the detailed video on the breeding, care, and sprout growth process of Alocacia Bambino. I also raise a Bambino in a balcony garden and a guppy room at home, but It died grow in the balcony garden a while ago. I think it was because winter in Korea was cold. I think it'll be hard to cover it with Vinyl in the winter. I'll have to wait until the sprouts sprout next spring.

Can i use a self-watering planter for the bambinos?

Learned a lot again from your video today! I loved variegated banana too. Do people grow them outside like normal banana trees and harvest fruit there? Can they have direct sun? I see some people selling seeds and wonder if I should try.

This is amazing! I don't think I am brave enough but I am in awe. Thank you so much for all your tips!

Would you recommend repotting in a tropical soil plus perlite mix?

I'm staring the plant behind you.😅

Love your channel!

I watch so many plant videos but yours are just the best. I love how detailed you are.

I just noticed my bambino's leaves are mushy and just fall off. I have never seen an alocasia do that. Why am I doing wrong .?

When I purchased mine, a lady told me not to be surprised if it loses all its leaves and go dormant. Well, it did and still shows no growth. There are no leaves or stalk...nothing visible after a few months. What should I do? Is it dead?

No one has better propagation outcomes than him. His comfort level and confidence with cutting plants are the best. I just waited patiently for the outcome. I knew it would be great and I was not disappointed.

Så intressant att se och mycket bra informationer. Tack igen😊🙏❣

I lost my plant but thanks for the advice

What kind of fungicide powder do you use?

Cool! I’ve never seen a matured one….

Thank you and Hi from CANADA.

I have heard that the Polly has a white outline not the bambino.?

Thank you for the informative video. I’m watching on a huge screen and can’t help but wonder what those tiny white bugs are? I see at least 5 of them crawling on the black pot and in the soil…… hope they are not pests!

What’s the name is the verginated plant on the bottom right below the monstera?😮

spider mites!! 😱😂

Omg your bag is gros so fast. Mine had one leaf and after a few months just died... It's Phong by the way :)

My bambino is in sunlight from my window and I have a new leave fully grown almost every 3 days

Love this. Thank you for sharing

Hi,can I just use tap water to water this plant?

What a beautiful Alocasia Bambino.... Thank you for sharing and stay safe....

I just purchased 3 plants yesterday. They were on clearance. I moved some of the dirt around and wow there was a corn sitting right there. I love your channel!

Mine turned yellow after two weeks indoor. :(😢Do I water just once a week ?

OMG, I just ordered an amazonica. I didnt realize that it was the king of them. Thanks for the care tips!

musa Variegata…..

How do you have amazing lighting

Thanks for doing this video on Alocasia propagation! There's definitely not enough information out there and I'm so worried about making my corms sprout. Nice variegated Musa Ae Ae in the background!

the love you have for your plants is so amazing! very inspirational, thank you for your teachings

Thanks for the info. I have a Bambino and did not know any of this about them. Very helpful.

I just bought one of these knowing NOTHING about it so I'm glad I watched this video 😂 I'm going corm digging later

Always a treat watching you,thanks so much sharing your knowledge,love and appreciate it👍💚💜💕

I am having trouble with mine. I repotted to a large pot is that wrong or should it be in smaller pot? I am in FL and i tried every window and leaves droop and yellow. I also put the seeds i found in the root in its own pot

Woooow. This plant is actually like a bird. Has eggs . Beautifull

Can this plants be outdoors in a shaded area.

Great video!! So useful and well explained 👍Thank you 🙏

Hi, could I know what is in the forest floor potting mix?

so cool

Your potting mixes have made such a difference to my plants!

🤔u have inspired me to propagate my Buddha's palm.

☺️☺️💞💞💞💞👍

I rescued a pretty sad little cuprea from a nursery for 3 dollars. I honestly didn't know if I could save it, but is now holding six pretty leaves and a pair of pups. I'm in western Australia so it's summer / growing season here. Should I break it down like you did in this video while it's actively growing or should I wait? (I know you're in the tropics but we're south enough where they're still affected by seasons) TIA! Love the vids

I have learned so much from you,im always excited watching your propagating videos coz it always has an update i just love how you reallyake an efforts to make you videos really satisfying ending, im not yet done watching all your videos but i always love to watch your propagation and updates videos

The bottom of these leaves are just wow. Probably one of my favorite aroids. So adaptable!
