Alocasia Regal Shield Coming Back

Observation is a super important skill yo work on.

I discover root rot, by observing the behavior of this plant. She was losing leaves to fast, light levels was great and it just felt not normal for their cycle. So I took her out of the soil and check the roots. About 50% was rotten!

I cut the rotten roots, clean them and potted her in a smaller plastic pot. She's being in recovery since then. Now she lives in my office space with supplemental light and she's putting lots of leaves!

plant babes i need help!!!! i got this elephant ear alocasia early september. when i first got it she pushed out a new leaf but since then she’s been dropping leaves one by one. first they start to droop and then slowly they turn brown.

she’s sits about 3/4 feet away from my south facing window and i have a blue/red/white LED plant light that faces her about the same distance away. the house stays around 70°F and i leave the fan running in my room most of the day. i water her whenever the soil is mostly dry, i tend to bottom water because i am constantly battling fungus gnats (🙄).

i read somewhere that sometimes they go dormant in winter? i live on the east coast in the US and it’s still relatively warm here so i’m not sure that’s it. some sites also said it could be overwatering or not enough humidity. i would like the repot her into a chunkier soil mix but i worry that it’d be the last straw.

if you have any tips please let my know!! i really like this plant and would hate to see her go.

Please take a look at this beauty. Stingrays are my favorite kind of Alocasia and I grew this one straight from the bulb 🌱

Since so many have asked… here’s just a small portion of my plant collection 💚

Paper Birch Lullaby

Summer of my youthfire, tender liking of my token sun, there is always a close.

A canticle of the turning susurrates through the cattails, up the river. Eagles leave and the birch stand empty, waiting without knowing. It comes, she whispers. It comes bellowing, it comes wailing, I cannot bear it she says, I cannot hold it she says.

The morning is crisp with settling. Into my bones, the snap of autumn waits. Twigs among twigs, antlers left unbloodied and shorn. Moonrise echoes and echoes and echoes. I see my breath for the last time. The trout sleep below the ice, unbothered. The gentle tumor of powder and quiet smothers and unlungs. Out once more, out once more. The air is bitter, too scorned for her to listen to my indulgence. I look for polaris and even she refuses me, so I will wait for the snowmelt.

The end of silence is not a tearing veil. The curtains lay undisturbed. Instead the lark titters once of the salmon, who have returned bearing tales. The crayfish yawn before tip-toeing to their chores, and the ice gives way with the soil, offers me a place to unburden. My heart pumps algae and moss, my feet tangle mycorrhiza lovers, who beckon them to bed. Sunlight, when did you remind me of your name?

Relaxation is not allowed

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Sheogorath was taking a hot bath in his palace. The bathtub was surrounded in blooming flowers of his realm. Sun light was falling in through the large gothic window, illuminating the flowers and the bath perfectly.

Today he decided to bathe inside due to the changing of seasons in his realm. Sometimes you could see him bathe in a public bath just outside his palace on the side of mania.

Though Sheogorath didn't need to bathe, he preferred it as it was relaxing from time to time.

He slowly sat up and hugged his legs while enjoying the bath. His hands reached out of the bath to grab one of his expensive alocasia oils and he started to carefully lavish himself in it.

Sheogorath's sense of smell was very sensitive. Everyone around him is forced to bathe every two days to not make him angry or disgusted but it in fact was also good for everyone. It prevented the spreading of sickness by uncleanliness. A positive side effect, to Sheogorath.

He carefully went through his hair with the oil before wringing it out and carefully dipping it back into the water.

That's when the doors to the bathing room swung open and Sheogorath felt so annoyed at this point.

Haskill looked past the intruder, "I am sorry, Sire! I tried to stop him!"

Sheogorath looked up at the intruder and to no surprise, It was Sanguine.

"You have to be kidding me- what are you doing in my realm?!"

"Your realm is in Oblivion! So It's not just yours!"

Suddenly Sanguine started yelling, "Martin!!! MARTINI! MAAAARTIIIIN!"

Sheogorath covered his ears and yelled back, "Only I am allowed to summon him!!!"

"Then do it," Sanguine grabbed Sheogorath by his wrist and tried to pull him out of the bath. He pulled in the opposite direction because he did not want to be seen naked, even though quite frankly... there was nothing to see.

"Sanguine!!!" Sheogorath started to get angry at this point but struggled to stay in the bath.

Sanguine pulled once more only for Sheogorath to stumble out of the bath.

"You only want to torment him about his past with you! Why would I ever summon him for you," he asked sharply which made Sanguine exclaim, "You are so selfish!"

"Me?! Selfish?! You just pulled me out of a relaxing time for your little desire to torment someone I love!"

Sanguine grabbed him by his arm and pulled him on his feet.

"Comeee oooon."

The Daedric Prince of Madness sighed loudly while Haskill was walking his way to hand him a bathrobe.

Sheogorath mumbled, "Akatosh, I humbly seek for your avatar. Grace me with your presence."

The sun light from the window intensified for a second and Sanguine squinted his eyes closed. Haskill barely reacted to the light and finally gave his master something to cover himself with.

While Martin appeared, Sheogorath slowly got dressed.

Martin opened his eyes only to see his tormentor and his scantily clad lover just putting something on.

"Oh..."

"MARTINI!"

Sheogorath rolled his eyes and mumbled, "I'm very sorry. He forced me to summon you."

Sanguine walked towards Martin who took a few steps back. That was enough for Sheogorath.

He opened a portal just below Sanguine's feet which the Daedric Prince of Debauchery fell into. With one quick hand movement it closed again.

"I am sorry, dear. He... really wanted to torment you again," he explained while walking towards him.

"Luckily I have you to protect me once again, huh?"

Sheogorath stopped walking once he was in front of him.

"Your... uh- bathrobe is open."

The Daedric Prince looked down, "Oh," and quickly tied the belt to close it.

"Uhm, Sire?"

Sheogorath slowly turned around to Haskill.

"He is coming back."

At this point he was just exhausted.

"Okay then!" Sheogorath cracked his knuckles and rolled up his sleeves, "Let me show you how well I can open and close portals, Martin."

Martin softly smiled at him.

The Daedric Prince of Madness concentrated on where Sanguine would appear. He opened a portal in front of the door and waited.

Sanguine came through a portal and immediately walked into another only for Sheogorath to open it on the ceiling where Sanguine fell through and nearly landed on the floor. But just in time Sheogorath opened another portal and now he was falling from the wall onto the ceiling and then back down. This continued chaotically for a few seconds before Sanguine got so sick that he just wanted to retreat.

"She- o- go- rat- h- st- o- p-"

Martin slowly reached out to Sheogorath and touched his cheek.

"Be nice. Thank you for protecting me. Let him go now."

Sheogorath turned his head to Martin and completely stopped so that Sanguine fell to the floor face first.

Sanguine stayed put and yelled, "Okay! Okay. I am sorry, Sheogorath! I get it! He is yours. Please-"

Sheogorath made him vanish through a portal into his realms.

Martin gently grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"Sheogorath..." Martin's voice was calming and quiet. Sheogorath slowly moved in for a hug and the avatar gently embraced him before giving him a kiss on the cheek. Though Sheogorath wasn't just satisfied with a peck on the cheek, he also wanted a peck on the lips which Martin happily provided. They also gently bumped foreheads and that's when Sheogorath started to purr.

Martin looked at him and chuckled, "Are... you making that noise?"

Sheogorath slowly turned red.

"What?! No- I-"

"Is that why they call you Skooma cat?"

Martin chuckled and caressed his face which made him purr a little louder.

"How is our child?"

"They're sleeping."

"May I see them?"

That's when Sheogorath stopped purring and grabbed Martin's hand to walk to the nursery. Both chuckle and talk along the way. Haskill sighed and started to drain the bath.

"He was only in the bath for less than an hour. My poor Lord... Why is everyone putting him under so much pressure?" Haskill asked himself.

How to Take Care of an Alocasia Flying Squid

Sunlight Alocasia Flying Squid loves bright light that comes from the side. This plant does very well when it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Even though Alocasia Flying Squid is a much easier plant to care for, you still need to put it near a window that gets bright light all day long if you want to grow it indoors. Since these are light-sensitive plants, the best thing you can do is keep them out of direct sunlight. They can get sunburned, which could hurt your plant, and direct sunlight could also cause leaves to fall off. In short, the Alocasia Flying Squid has lived its whole life as an indoor plant. So, if you want to plant it outside, you will need to protect it from the sun by putting something over it. Giving the plant water How often you have to water an Alocasia Flying Squid depends on how hot or cold it is outside. Once a week, give this plant a little bit of water. But if the temperature drops, you need to cut back on how much and how often you water. When you water an Alocasia Flying Squid plant, you should use about 0.8 cups of water for the best growth. Since Alocasia Flying Squid doesn't like being too wet, you shouldn't water it too much. They store water in their petioles, so it doesn't matter if the soil is always wet. If you plant Alocasia Flying Squid in a hotter area, you will have to water it more often because it will dry out more quickly there. So, a great way to take care of this plant is to only water it when the soil is dry.

If you want to grow the plant inside, it's best to keep it away from heating vents and radiators that constantly blow hot air. To increase the humidity around your plant, you can even put it on a pebble tray filled with water. Alocasia Flying Squid grows best at temperatures between 60 and 75°F during the day and 55 and 60°F at night. Because they are hardy, these plants can survive in a wide range of temperatures. But if it gets very cold where you live, they might get frost. If that's the case, you'll need to put your Alocasia Flying Squid near a warm window during the day. Soil & Fertilizers When it comes to soil, it is recommended to be careful not to let the soil get too wet. This can be done by planting Alocasia Flying Squid in potting mix that is loose and drains quickly. Coco coir and an organic base like Perlite or Vermiculite make a good potting mix. This potting mix makes drainage better. The new soil you use to pot your plant has all the nutrients it needs to grow and bloom. So, you don't have to use fertilizers if you change the soil every year. If your Alocasia Flying Squid gets out of shape, you may need to move it to a new pot. You can do this once a year or whenever the roots are getting too big for the pot. Keeping pests away There are bugs like Mealybug and Scale that hurt Alocasia Flying Squid. With the help of their cottony saliva, these bugs stay safe from insecticides and pesticides. Because of this, it's hard to get rid of these bugs. But if your plant gets affected, you can mist it with soapy water or neem oil. The Alocasia Flying Squid is still pretty good at keeping these bugs away. So, even if you don't do anything to keep pests away, there might not be a problem. Control of Toxicities If you're worried about whether or not Alocasia Flying Squid is dangerous, don't be. We'll take care of you. Every part of the Alocasia Flying Squid has Calcium Oxalate Crystals, which can make your mouth and oesophagus hurt if you eat them. Cats and dogs can also get sick from this plant. In short, the Alocasia Flying Squid plant is dangerous for everyone, including you, your children, and even your pets. So, plant it in places that are hard to get to.

How to Propagate Alocasia Flying Squid Plant?

The Alocasia Flying Squid Plant can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes (underground stem) or by taking stem cuttings. - To propagate by dividing the rhizomes, carefully dig up the plant and separate the rhizomes with a sharp knife. Each piece should have at least one growing point, or "eye", and some roots. Plant the divisions in moist, well-draining soil and keep them warm and humid until they establish new growth. - To propagate by stem cuttings, cut a stem that has at least two or three leaf nodes (the point where the leaves attach to the stem) and removes the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone powder and place it in moist soil or water. Keep the cutting warm and humid until it roots and develops new growth. Both methods should be done in spring or summer when the plant is actively growing. For both methods, Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and out of direct sunlight until new growth appears. Then gradually acclimate the new plants to brighter light before planting them in their permanent locations.

Common Problems Associating With Alocasia Flying Squid And Their Solutions

- Yellowing leaves: This can be caused by too much direct sunlight, under-watering, or over-fertilizing. Move the plant to a shadier location, adjust the watering frequency, and reduce the amount of fertilizer used. - Brown or black leaf edges: This can be caused by low humidity or dry air. Increase humidity by misting the leaves, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a tray of water and pebbles. - Wilting leaves: This can be caused by under-watering or poor drainage. Make sure the soil is consistently moist, but not waterlogged, and that the plant is in a well-draining pot with a drainage hole. - Pest infestation: Alocasia plants can be susceptible to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Control these pests by using insecticidal soap or a mixture of water and dish soap, or by using neem oil. - Slow growth: This can be caused by a lack of light or poor soil quality. Make sure the plant is getting enough light and repot it into fresh, well-draining potting soil. - Root rot: This can be caused by over-watering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and make sure the plant is planted in well-draining soil and a container with drainage holes. - Leaf drop: This can be caused by a sudden change in temperature or humidity. Keep the plant away from cold drafts and make sure the humidity level is consistent.
