Melissa, l am 69 years old. Retired nurse. I love your videos. No loud music, your voice is clear, your explanations, and your plants of course, love the names printed out on the screen, you dont jump from one plant to another too fast. LOVE your videos. Sounds like you are ditching lecca? I have most my plants in Pon or in the process of transfering to Pon. I make my own but i just recently bought some Pon on Etsy and threw in with mine. Keep up the good work and give your kitty cats a kiss on the nose. (hubby too)

@plantsbymelissa 2 месяца назад

You're so kind, thank you so much! I've never used leca! Just pon and my aroid mix now. I have about 45-50 plants in pon and probably do a few more 😁

You need a Zebrina to finish the alphabet. ;) I got a huge Zebrina when I moved in my new home and I left it on the back patio for a few days- and it got caught in a hail storm and got huge holes in the leaves. It never really recovered. Two years later I’ve regrown it from corms. ❤

Another enjoyable video. I watched it after returning from a trip to the Smithsonian. Oops, no I misspoke, actually it was just an imagined trip picturing my plants looking as wonderful as yours. Lol, truth is that most of my plants look pretty darn nice as well thanks in no small part to plantology knowledge I’ve gained from your videos. However, thinking of the Smithsonian I wonder how you can manage your plethora of plants in Plantmore Estate (I like that alliteration) without the help of a curator. Amazing that you can do that. In all seriousness your plants are incredible and so are you. Thanks for what you do.

@Yambataller 2 месяца назад

Oh god, I got the Melo thinking it would be leathery hard leaves but instead the leaves are hard but feel like hard plastic! I’ve never felt a leaf like that before. So cool. Definitely want to get the Maharani sometimes soon as well :)

@sylviar549 2 месяца назад

I love your collection! Take all the time you need to show up all of your alocasias. My dragon scale likes a more acidic soil so I wouldn't recommend making it more alkaline, but it's up to you and you know more than I do. Just sharing my experience. Unfortunately, all alocasias are different so it can go either way.

So Jelly!!! You have an amazing collection. I definitely need more bedrooms! 😫 I never grew Alocasia until recently. I’ve learned so much about Alocasia and moss poles. Your videos are very informative. As to the Azlanii. Have you been able to determine how to best bring out the color? Like.. less light or more light? I have a very tiny one in stratum, that I got from TGE. I also have a few Alocasia from RPF as well. Thank you for bringing those sellers to my attention.

@nicolecmke 2 месяца назад

I really enjoyed this video. 😍 Alocasias are my favs and second are anthuriums. You made me nervous because I just got an azlanii last week and you, as a professional plant grower (gardener?), said it's pretty finicky. 😨 The dragon's breath looks evil and the cuprea looks like a beetle's shell. 😂 I have a scalprum, which also looks a little evil, but her "devil's horns" (sinus) isn't as pronounced as the dragon's breath. One day I will get a cuprea. I haven't had any luck transferring my alocasias into pon. My dragon scale melted away, and my reversa lost all of her leaves and hasn't spoken to me since. 😟 But her corms are still healthy, so there's a chance she'll speak to me again. I just need to figure out what she needs. Plant drama. 🙄

@lisaanglim9588 2 месяца назад

The Polly was my first foray into alocasia. It died. So I didn’t have any for a while but someone gifted me a pink dragon. I kept it healthy for about. 9 months. It never got out of the two leaf club. It died or went into dormancy so I kept watering once in a while. I finally unpotted it and the riots were dead. I high’s a corn that I put in stratum but it rotted. So I’m off Alocasias for a while. Even though I find them beautiful, I’ll wait for a while to get one. That might be my foray into pon.

@Lyssa72 2 месяца назад

Beautiful collection❤ thank you for sharing. I too, have an Infernalis and it is being finicky. I’m thinking of trying it in a aroid mix with tree fern and see if that makes her happier. I love how dark she is but not how difficult she is🤣 I have a Nebula that has went bonkers in pon and she is so beautiful and I think I may have to upsize already because the roots are growing out of the bottom in just 3 mths in pon

Hey Melissa! I have a frydek I switched to pon a month or so ago. My first alocasia. I wanted to know what is the reasoning for some bleaching on the outer edges?

If you have some yellowing edges it might be a nutrient issue. My regular green micholitziana was doing that and I found out she was being underfed.

@plantsbymelissa 2 месяца назад

ooof tough question haha I think I love the regular green micholitziana more than the BV. They are more prone to spider mites though so if that is a common pest for you it'll be something you need to keep an eye out for. It loves semi hydro!

@Kelly_Silverman 2 месяца назад

So, Melissa... Would you say that your secret to huge alocasia leaves is humidity and Pon?

@plantsbymelissa 2 месяца назад

@KC-gj4bi 3 месяца назад

Melissa, how long do you keep your alocasia in water before you transfer it into the pon ?

@plantsbymelissa 2 месяца назад

Great video 👍 do you water your alocasia s in pon when water indicator shows half full or do you let them dry out more between waterings? What fertilizer are you using?

@plantsbymelissa 2 месяца назад

It depends on the alocasia. Some are more thirsty so I tend to leave more water in the res. Some can show more edema than others so I try to be mindful of that but I usually go around and add water to them on the same day so I don't forget anyone :)
