Alocasia Flowers to cut or not to cut? 

I woke up to my kitchen smelling more fragrant than usual today. I kept thinking it was a cleaning spray that leaked but no, it was my FRYDEK that bloomed flowers!

New subscriber 🎉 Alocasia Black Velvet looks lovely 😍 My poly hasn't flowered yet. "Oh wow, it's thick" 🍆🤭😇 Five of my six black velvets flowered for Christmas 🎄 Took time to read comments and your replies. And agree...choice is the owner's. I chose not to cut my flowers. When I cut the flower off my Rumpelstiltskin Alocasia, it grew another flower in the same shoot within 5 days. I was shocked as hell 😮 My motto is to let them be. Just be aware because flowering means your plant needs more nutrients. So, when I notice any of my babies starting to flower, I know it's time to water & feed. Thanks for sharing! I ❤NYC

My alocasia polly just sprouted a flower. Found you looking for advice! Love your energy. New subscriber!! NOW….headed to chop that beast OFF!

I am getting my first silver dragon bloom and I am going to let her flower. So exciting!

Amazing continue to grow like your plants

My Polly hasn’t flowered yet, but my black velvet flowered right after I got it. I was so confused at first. Yours look gorgeous!

You are adorable! I just acquired an alocasia poly that is in flower and didn't know what to do - thanks to you, now I know to cut it off. Thanks Eugene, I'm going to enjoy spending time with you and your plant babies. I'm in Calgary, Alberta. It's so dry here. Humidifiers are on for my plants all day. First world problems.

Wrapping my head around growing plants just for foliage

Great job like always 🥰

I have a quilted green alocasia y it also has a flower. Afraid to cut it tho. Tips are getting brown and soft.

Haha I feel the same I hate cutting the flower but I bet it gets easier the more we do 😇 loved your video🙌🏼 so entertaining 😇

😍

awesome video 😀

I have a giant Alocasia Regal Shield thats putting out flow after flower. I cut two off last week and noticed the other day that two more are popping up. One thing mine gone do is flower against my wishes lol

I love your alocasias! They are doing really well. Out of curiosity, is it possible to substitute cutting off the flowers with feeding the plant a tolerable amount of nutrients at a higher frequency during its flowering season in order to ensure that the plant has enough energy to support flowering and developing more leaves during that period?

😘

Thanks for sharing! Can the same thing be done with anthurium? I don’t plan on pollinating them, so I’d like to cut them.

that's the question

I love alocatia. I keep buying and they keep dying.... what is the perfect environment to keep them in..

I couldn't do it

you can also use those cuttings and stick them into dirt and propagate a new plant....fyi!!!

You could've cross pollinated 😢

Great job like always 🥰
