Alocasia, strange symptoms
Comments (3)Would you be able to add a pic of the whole thing? Is it just the oldest leaf turning funky? I might check the bottoms of leaves for any signs of spider mites....See More3 leaves per Alocasia plant seems sparse
Comments (5)I have found that my Alocasias typically hold 5 or more leaves (even lauterbachiana) when they are getting a constant regulated feed. This can be accomplished via a fertilizer injection system if your plants are irrigated automatically, or you can mix in a time release fert formulation such as Dynamite (available at Home Depot). Be prepared to repot one or more times in the summer because the plants really grow large that way, too. I've seen lauterbachianas with 6 or more leaves at a time at a professional nursery with automatic irrigation and a metered regular soluble fertilizer injection system.

I expanded my controller to add 3 more stations using a 1" poly line. It will be dedicated only to the 3 new trees (Jaboticaba, Quenepa, Lula avocado and the planted Duncan mango, and the 4 new muscadine grape vines. Oh yeah, replaced my sprinkler system pump with a jet pump instead of the old centrifugal pump. Beaucoup pressure now. Dan...See MoreWhat to do with Alocasia tubers?
