I saw Alocasia and clicked SO FAST!! I’ve fallen down the Alocasia rabbit hole the last month and I’ve added 9+ different varieties…
My KopperT Canada beneficial mites just arrived today so I can’t wait to add them to my Alocasia’s and the rest of my collection!
Your story of them and my story, are both shared on their Instagram story! I’m so excited to get them all added to my plants :)

Alocasia dragon scale is just breathtaking. I used to only have the silver one but finally I purchased the regular green and the leaves are just unreal. It's like cartoon or something, just not real 🙃🙃 and yes, seeing yours truly motivates me to give my newly arrived dragon scale the best care it needs so that it can grow like yours too!

Hi Fern. I grow my variegated frydek in a self watering pot in pon. I tried various mediums and for me the best it's done in is definitely pon. I also hold the leaves up with bamboo sticks. I have found that doing this makes the leaves last longer since they are so big and heavy at this point. Love this video! I just added a few more alocasia to my wishlist because of it❤

[HerPlantPalette]

Love your collection. Alocasia are my favorite. I grow all of my alocasia with sphag moss in no drainage vessels. I just pop in some osmocote every 3 months and water with superthrive regularly. I keep a little layer of water at the bottom of the vase so they never dry out, and they seem to be super happy like that longterm plus I love seeing the roots.

It’s a dragon scale, I think ppl get it mixed up with the silver dragon which is silvery looking. The size of your baby!! Amazing!

[katbattt]

I have serious alocasia envy, girl. Mine just keep rotting I'm so awful haha. Living vicariously through you and never trusting myself to buy another ever again 😂

[AnaC]

Your Dragon scale is gorgeous! 😍 Mine is the same color as yours and was also sold to me as regular Dragon Scale. I think the color has to do with the kind of light it receives.

I have 2 Variegated Frydeks - one in chunky mix and one in pon. They are both in high humidity + good light. They are both pretty happy but the one in pon is definitely growing faster ☺️

[MissSyrinxie]

I love my Dragon Scale! She is a little bit more of an emerald green than your slightly bluey leaves. Such a gorgeous plant!

[plantwithroos]

Omggg yeessss yours are so so pretty!!

[plantwithroos]

The two I love the most are also the ones I struggle with the most- I've killed several of each already 😱🙄😭😭😭 and both look insane in your collection - dragon scale and jaclyn

[ThatGirlShelbyy]

I’m sure your frydek will come back!!

My variegated Frydeks (I bought 3 during the summer) are in a couple different substrates and living in normal room conditions by my south facing balcony window.

The small one was sent to me in a pon-type mixture so I left it in that mix and it’s thriving, and my 2 larger ones from a different shop are in a super chunky mix and also doing really well so far!

They’re putting out new leaves, and taking forever to drop an old leaf, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps up!

I’m honestly not sure how they’ve been thriving so well, probably because of how humid it’s been this summer. The humidity has been coming down in the last week though, so I have a feeling I’m about to see some declines in my collection as we move into fall

[rebeccahenderson]

Wow, that's the very 1st Alocasia Dragon Scale I have ever liked. That is gorgeous with very deep colouring. Oh I do potting mix with self watering all the time, it's great!! I also do clear pots with chunky perlite and potting mix directly on top, and a syringe that reaches from the bottom to the top of the soil, and I water through the syringe - works like a charm. Wow, I hadn't liked the Jaclyn until seeing yours!! That green frydek! 💚

[PassioninmyVeins]

I have had so much success having my alocasia frydek variagata in Lechuza pon and in a Lechuza pot. Definitely would recommend.

[stephanielopez]

I have my variegated frydek in pon and it’s been really liking it. It transferred super easily and has pushed out 2 leaves since transfer. For most of my Alocasia I usually put them in pon anyways since it makes it very low maintenance and I don’t have to worry about watering them as often. Also I have my black velvet in pon as well and it makes the world of difference for growing them.

[DominicSaggione]

I bought an alocasia poly from the depot. It was in a self watering pot and it grew, but died back to a stump. I repotted her and found a cloth plug suffocating to roots! I also found 5 corms inside! So now she’s repotted and has 2 beautiful leaves! I can’t wait to see it grow, and this video came right at the right time. Your collection is stunning! 😍😍

[charlottebron]

I think your NoID might be a alocasia clypeolata. The shape of some of the leaves look somewhat alike. So does the colouring. All of your alocasia look great! All of your dragonscale are just absolutely stunning!!

[clearwaterbeachhomesearchm]

Off topic. Love your hair makeup. You look healthy happy and beautiful

[stineschwarck]

You should have a look at the Azlanii (has almost iridescent red veins), the Nebula (has almost blackish-green thick leathery leaves), the Lauterbachiana (also known as Purple sword), Cucculata (heart shaped leaves), Pink Dragon (green Leaves on pink stems), Tiny Dancer (Small droplet shaped leaves), Wentii (Big Green Leaves w. purple backs), Portodora (big ruffled leaves), Zarian (arrowshaped green leaves w. bright white veins) and Seudo Sanderiana (ruffled elongated leaves w. Purple backs) 🤗🪴
Just some of the alocasia in my collection - can't for the life of me grow the Dragon scale (they die/rot everytime i get one), so i'm envious og your specimen 😅

[Mandi_Hui]

Really love when you do each type of varieties of plants. The Hoya and Cacti are my top favourites. Alocasia’s i find they do great in pon in glass no drainage or lecca at the bottom and soil on top in non drainage works too. Since they like to be kept moist i find these substrates works best. Compared to just soil if stick with just soil make it more compact not too airy otherwise drys out too fast.
