New Alocasia Jacklyn leaf came in

After treating for spider mites when I first got it (May of this year) the leaves weren't doing so hot. The new leaf is beautiful though!

Also already has a baby that popped up last month :)

Mine looked fine for a month and then dropped all it's leaves. Roots all rotted off :( The rhyzome hasn't grown anything since

I find if I don't make my soil super chunky then it stays damp for way too long. My house is pretty humid usually so I mostly go with 1:1:1 orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil. So far all of my plants have grown well in it, though I did have a lemon button fern that loved straight soil and staying damp. I miss that little guy... Stupid thrips.

Cool. Looks like a huge leaf from such a small plant 🙂
