Hey I would like to chat with some people who have experience with alocasia especially hydroponics and root rot.
I love Alocasia and have been experimenting with them for over a year.
My experience in soil: they don't grow very well, they are easily too dry and too easily too wet. It is a lot of work to water them appropriately.
Then I learned about hydroponics and tried to get them used to it. Oh well. It took an extremely long time and there were some losses from tuber and root rot (I use coarse grained pon, mixed myself). Then I had the idea of removing the roots, as they rot quickly, and placing the tubers in perlite. Wow! First roots after a few days and gigantic root systems after 1 to 2 weeks. Then I had the idea of repotting them into coarse-grained pon again. First the plant grew quickly and then again root and tuber rot??? Why, when she grew well in wet perlite...
And then I see people on Youtube and Instagram wo just put them in water and leca and no Problems at all??? XD
I apologize for any English mistakes, I'm from Germany :)
