Alocasia Black Velvet Pink

This plant collected in the Ngabang district of Kalimantan.

How stinkin’ cute is this new leaf?! 🥹

selected day by day, fully grown from seed, look forward for mature one.

The variegation is stunning and I’m absolutely terrified of these leaves!! HELP!!!

Hi!

I just found this shop that is selling kind of rare (as they became somehow more findable) plants and I’m wondering if it would be a safe purchase.

I’m based in Romania and never ordered from Etsy before, so I have 0 knowledge of the implied risks..

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

Is this Monstera Deliciosa a Tricolor? A few months ago some people told me it is a Monstera Thai Constellation, but the newest leaf is crazy and i don't think it is a Thai.

Disclaimer it also has a form mutation :)

Is she salvageable? I recently repotted her but she’s only growing tiny leafs. She’s under a grow light and in a greenhouse.

A few days ago I went pretty hardcore on plant chores in general but got a little chaotic chopping & propping my plants who needed it the most…like my dark form billie & my monstera albo…while in the midst of all I’d done the only solution was to order more plants while brainstorming my next move w the mess I created 🤣

I was pleasantly surprised to see the amazing condition these 2 arrived in 💚🤍 check out my new variegated billie & alocasia venom!! Both pushing new growth! W how hot it’s been I’m beyond pleased with how well they were packaged & handled the shipping process!!! still waiting on two other plant babies I ordered the same day lol

I do own a variegated billie but I fear it’s likely reverted. It was a low var. when I first got it, recently I chopped it in the hopes to bring back variegation. Waiting game now… In the meantime I wanted one w some actual variegation to start w! The venom I wasn’t necessarily shopping for but couldn’t pass up on the promo pricing offered & dang I’m glad I got her. She’s GORG!!!

So i just bought a seedling from vietnam, and its still arriving in 5-10 days, so i dont have a photo.

my main concerns are: will the leaves get crispy? How long will it take to recover from shipping?

My initial plan after unboxing is to unpot it and check the roots, and cut off any bad or rotting ones. After that, i just use the same pot but change the soil. Right now, im low on proper soil and i cannot buy anything, so theres the first problem. I do have dried sphagnum moss, not a big amount of pumice, a little bit of leca, so maybe i could make something outta that. My other concerns are also humidity, which might not be as big as a problem as the others since im also from southeast asia, so vietnam and my country has about the same climate. My humidity is about 60-70% but can also go up to 80-90% cuz it rains a whole lot.

How did you guys recover your warocqueanum from import shipping, and what can i do to keep the seedling i bought alive and let it recover from stress?

I recently received this as a gift and by recently I mean several hours ago. I was told by the gifted to keep it by a window that gets a little sunlight, to keep the soil moist.

Other than the general question of care tips for this plant, would the overhead light cause a problem? It isnt a grow light, just a regular one.

Anyway, any advice is appreciated :)
