Your propagation videos=therapy. I love your propagation videos! Thank you!

Been waiting for this. Great episode!

What a beautiful Alocasia.... Thank you for sharing....Sean. Have a restful evening....Sean.

I've been waiting for these

I have my Frydek growing in leca along with my alocasia cucullata one too. The cucullata is growing like steroids in my leca. I converted the Frydek plant 3 weeks ago when I purchased it from Home Depot. It's doing good in leca. It already gave me a new leaf and I see another one growing.

Thanks for sharing your information about this things propagated this plants

one of my favorite alocasias 🥰, loves high humidity and prone to spidermites

I just got a Young Frydek a few weeks ago and you’re right about it looking fake. No camera can capture how velvety and shiny it is!

I have my alocasias in diy pon mix and they are doing very well.

Thank you. This was most helpful video I watched

Hello from Philippines. The little 'bulbs' that grow from the mother plants that you called 'corms' are actually called 'bulbils'. I think corms/bulbs are terms used for caladiums/colocasia. While rhizome and bulbils are used for alocasia. In addition, the right scientific name for this plant is Alocasia mitcholitziana 'maxkowskii' and has a common name of Alocasia green velvet. Alocasia frydek however is the right name if A. mitcholitziana is a variegated one. Hope you learn from this!

I’m keeping mine in passive-hydro and they seems to love it.

When you said that they are inexepnsive, he could only think "how lucky you are!", I bought one a few days ago for 45 dollars in Sweden.

This is the learning channel

This was nice video

Omg filipinos out there 1-2 dollar only here love ur vids

I usually see this everywhere in my Place here in The Philippines. Didn't know this is endemic here lol so that is why

Thanks for the tip! I regret not buying the alocasia frydek when I saw one that was only for $5 usd!

love it!!!!

Spider mites on these can be eliminated by monthly rinsing the leaves with very warm water, especially the undersides. No poisons needed. If it's already heavily infested, rinse at every watering for a little while to get them under control first.

You’re videos are great but I rewatch for the edits 😆

Ive found chunky aroid mixes to work perfect.

Thank you ,I didn't know it need water every day

The plant epidemic fluctuates greatly. I have a Friedec, too. Your plant is prettier than ours. raise for three months But our plants can't see the baby yet. I'm waiting for your video. Please upload a lot of videos.

💚💚

"omg kids.. kids!" 😂 I feel the same way lol

Speaking of alocasia, I’d love to know more about the one behind you! Is it a Watsoniana ? 🥴 I get a peak at it every time we get this view and it’s GORGEOUS!

Good evening ❤️❤️❤️

Omg yessssss the frydek is one of my absolute favorite plants. I have one but I’m thinking about buying another 😁. I wish I could afford the variegated one but at $500 usd and up its too rich for me. The die back is usually due to overwintering. Mine seemed to do very well this winter. I kept it right by a humidifier. So far I have not gotten spider mites on any of my Alocasia. I wonder why they are such magnets to spider mites?

Thx for the info😁 hope you can do vid for red congo philodendron

I hope you propagate next is the Queen anthurium or Warocqueanum

Sean they get big like about 12 or more inches leaves

Thank you Sean. I really like it when you give up dates on your murdered plants. JK. About the murdered plants not about the update’s 🌷💚🙃

How do you recommend cleaning these plants to help get rid of/ clean off the mites? Thanks!

❤☘️

Hi Sean, i do have yellowimg of leaves a lot! I love the frydek though. Ty for the tips 🇵🇭

Thank you Sean...this video is very informative... Think I still need to find the courage to cut up my dragon scale....hahaha

Shaun, would you say there are darker forms than others? Sometimes I see pictures of almost black/green leaves but wonder if it’s just a filter?

Hi there. Is the frydek really a jewel alocasia? i have mine for 1.5 yrs and it has breached 120cm in height for me. The leaves are huge. Always thought jewel alocasia are like the melo, black velvet, silver dragon which remains pretty small 😊

I love your channel. But I think you should rethink the background music🤪

It just Alocasia micholitziana. "Frydeck" Only for variegated version

I had to give up on allocasia, a little bit too much water the leaves turn brown and die, a little underwatered leaves turn brown and die. I've never had another plant that was as picky about needing an exact amount of water.

Hi 👋. “Apply some pesticide on them …” - in your case you put some eg furadan / kenfuran inside the soil mix every 3 months to prevent spidermites ? Or mix with water to spray ? Spraying seems impossible when have many plants and leaves all facing front with spidermites hiding on the back of leaves 😅. Hope you can share some tips

Can you share what you use to prevent spider mites?

hi channel, I have a question. Where I can buy the activated charcoal

Yo shawn if you have an FB page, I can show you my frydek.... it is actually the easiest alocasia to grow i guess

They do get big like around 18 to 20 inches i guess

My Alocasia amazonica has not pushed out any new leaves for a few months. The existing three are fine. Any tips on what I should do? Thanks.

The are called corms

Those plants are hard for me to take care of sometimes they like light and sometimes they don't!

inexpensive? In Germany they‘re like 60€ for a mature plant or around 25€ for a younger one.

Dang no wonder you are watering everyday 😂

I always burn mine 😢 also always fighting spider mites but not any other plants get them

Ha, alocasias are indestructible for me. Yet, pothos and hoyas I kill just by looking at them hahaha.

They can grow quite big though.

Where you get that charcoal?? Can i just use reguler arang?😂 like can i crush and use them?😂

A chalkboard so you can keep track of what’s happening?🌷💚🙃

Maybe I can send you a can of mosquito repellent?🌷💚🙃

I've been mpving my plants arund because the sun has moved again, and I have no idea where my frydecks are. Lol

I am so jeolous.. I killed two frydek. I dont dare to buy another one.

i cant keep them alive 😭 they are spidermites magnet! 😭

I heard a noise outside, I didn’t know what it was, then I realized I heard your plant screaming all the way over here when you cut it. JK 🌷💚🙃
