Alocasia Care Guide | Secrets to Thriving Elephant Ears 

Hi! I just picked one up from Marketplace and they had sold the original one I wanted. So the one I was given has crunchy curled up brown leafs. Extremely dull even matte looking leafs. I’m not sure what to do. This is one of the many videos that shows a pink dragon. So maybe you’ll be able to help me?? Please and thank you. She’s about 4ft tall and has a lot of leafs but they def don’t look healthy like yours.

I'm amazed how you never spilled a speck of dirt!

Thank you for your straightforward information and demo. Also, your calm voice without unnecessary background music. 👌 I just got one for myself today i will be repotting mine also. Thank you

Great video. Straight to the point!

Relaxing presentation and good hints. Bravo.

Beautiful plants

Newly subscribed. Thanks for sharing great Alocasia care tips with a velvety voice. ☺️👨‍🌾

These videos always make me want to get some plants

Love this video. Flawless Alocasia ❤

Dear viewers of this video. There are a few key details that were forgotten here: Because Alocasias are super fussy, you need additional things not shown in this video: - You MUST make a 50-50 mix of soil and perlite for maximum drainage. DO NOT plant them just straight into the soil as in the video. - For EVERY PLANTER you must place a layer of rocks (of 3-5cm or 1-2 inches) on the bottom to create a "buffer" for the water to separate from the roots of the plant. Even if the pot has drainage holes, yes, because if you don't, the soil substrate can clog the drainage holes and make it harder for. theatre to leak out. - They are VERY hungry plants that, when fed (fertilized) correctly, keep shooting new leaves like there's no tomorrow.

Great video

Hi thanks for the video. Quick question. I'm pretty new to plants and I have just bought my first Alocasia. Do I have to replant it in a bigger pot like what you have just done or leave it in the small original pot. Sorry for sounding silly but I have no clue 😅

Subscribing because you used Celsius haha thank you!!!

Beautiful Pink Princess Alocasia. The Pink Princess has pink stems with green backs to the leaves. The Pink Dragon looks very much the same except with Purple backs to the leaves. While Alocasia love moist soil, not wet soil, I have found that bottom watering helps keep the rhizome healthy. Too much moisture to the rhizome (especially if contains a death cage with peat moss) will cause it to become mushy and death will come quickly.

I have a question? Is it possible to keep the plant in a medium size pot I don’t want it to get to big

Just bought an Alocasia and the edges of the leaves are starting to wrinkle. Is this normal? I live in Florida and the temperature is always around 75f in my apartment with the AC on. I also put the plant close to my window. Thank yoj

I use honey as a basic fertilizer for all my plants It works well

Can i add perlite to that sphagum peat moss

I’ve had 3 leaves turn yellow and die this month. No idea what I’m doing wrong. I’ve been following all the steps mentioned in this video..

Can I tie the lanky stems together.

How do you propagate them?
