repotting a few of my alocasia + answering your alocasia questions! also first try at pollinating 🫣

it's been awhile since i focused on alocasia on this channel so i figure i should probably squeeze one in before i'm on maternity leave! perfect timing too because a few of my established alocasia and some newer propagated ones have been needing a repot anyway. i also opened my IG and took some of your alocasia questions-- everything from my preferred substrate, my favourite vessels to pot in and favourite ways of propagating my corms. i also try my hand at pollinating one of my alocasia for the first time. not sure if it'll be successful or not, but thought i'd want to try at least once!
