Product description

Well rooted in Pon! Great variegation! Lives in my IKEA greenhouse cabinet! Please read the shop guidelines before purchase, and my very detailed plant information BELOW! 🫶🏻

***Plant Information, PLEASE READ***

Many of my plants are in a straight pon, or an alocasia mix of my choice. ALL in self-watering pots!! I base my substrate on the plant and what it likes, as it is not a one-size-fits-all, especially with boujee Alocasia! However, pon is my substrate of choice, and I have had excellent luck with it; however, that does not mean it will work for everyone's situation--that is OK!  I will always list what substrate the plant is currently thriving with in my listing! 

Substrates I am using and LOVE as of 112425:

Planted Planet's "Pon"

"Dash Crack" by Dashing Botanicals

"Alocasia Mix" by Brittany's Urban Oasis

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow your new plant baby to acclimate to its new home for at least a week or two before transplanting; this will help to lessen the shock from recently being shipped and placed into a new environment; just because a plant is happy in healthy in the seller's environment DOES NOT mean it will be the same in the buyer's--slow acclimation is key. Shipping is very stressful on plants, NO MATTER how awesome we try to package them; occasionally, you will have a yellowing leaf, edema, or a possible bent leaf. Your plant WILL be OK! Just give it some time to acclimate and come back--they are much more resilient than you think! 

***Please communicate with me if you are unhappy with your plant ASAP! I will not be responsible for your plant dying days after you receive it, etc. There are too many variables that could have caused this to happen, and I will NEVER EVER ship a rotting or unhealthy plant! I value my business too much, and I love this hobby! Not to mention, I spend hours with my plants and their babies, I want them to arrive healthy and safe as much as YOU do. Communication is key, and I want my buyers to be happy; however, some things are out of my control during transit, and there are no guarantees once it leaves my hands--I am sorry!***

Remember this when you purchase plants during the COLD winter months: buy a heat packinsulation AND upgrade to NEXT DAY AIR or USPS PRIORITY EXPRESS, as these services are overnight delivery and guaranteed--UPS 2 Day Air A.M is not available in my area, unfortunately. Yes, both can be pricey, but the plant you are buying is WORTH IT! Heat packs are useless below 30 degrees F! Insulation, heat pack, NEXT DAY AIR in cold winter months! 

Most of my plants are acclimated to normal room temperature and humidity; we live in VA. If the plant lives in our IKEA grow cabinet, it will be noted in the description! Our home stays around 68-70 degrees in the summer with approximately 68-75% humidity. In the winter, we do run humidifiers as it becomes very dry here during that time--temps usually around 70 degrees. **As of 111025, we are running humidifiers!** Our plants are accustomed to having plenty of light! Natural and artificial! I love the SANSI and BARRINA lights; I have Barrina T5s and the Barrina Puck Lights in my grow cabinets and Sansi around the house for my others. They have light for at least 14 hours per day! If it is warm outside, occasionally they will spend some time on our front porch in indirect sunlight (NOT direct, this will burn their leaves). 

We fertilize our plants every time we water, and I NEVER let my self-waterers dry out, especially for Alocasia! Plants love to eat, especially Alocasia and Monstera, which is my hobby!  Below are the mixes I use, and I do rotate sometimes, so my boujee Alocasia stay happy! 

BabyToddler Mix Per 1 gallon: For developing roots and young, smaller roots2mls Rapidstart, 2mls Hydroguard to 1 gallon of tap water (we have well water). Make sure to check your pH levels; Alocasia thrive between 5.5-6.5; 6.0 is my target! 

***For corms, I only use the "puddle" method as I have GREAT success with it! I add the above mix and then just put enough in the cup so the corm is sitting in it but not drowning; they go on a seedling mat in my grow cabinet, and have light 14 hours per day. I will transplant them into Pon or "Dash Crack"!

***For TCs, I have used Fluval and Perlite, but have had better success with Pon or small DIY pon, and now "Dash Crack," which I  have recently started them in once they have a solid baby leaf and roots. 

TeenagerAdult Mix Per 1 gallon: For established roots, 2 tablespoons GT Foliage Focus, 2mls Hydroguard, and two drops of BMC (biological mosquito control, which prevents fungus gnats). Occasionally, I will change it up and add in CalMag and Silica; it just depends on my mood and the plant.

Unless otherwise stated, all plants are shipped exactly as seen in the photosvideos. Meaning with their moss poles and pot. **It will always be listed if they are not going to come exactly as shown**. If the plant is REALLY large, and in pon, you will be responsible for paying shipping overages, OR you have the choice to have me ship it in high-quality moss! 

Established plants are sprayed with Leaf Luxe purchased from Brittany's Urban Oasis (HIGHLY recommend their products) at every OTHER watering--this keeps the leaves shiny and healthy; pest management. We also use their PhytoFoliar spray fertilizer at night once every other week and before putting it in the box for shipment--something for them to feed on during their journey! 

**** I do use beneficial bugs, but all plants are wiped down well with LeafLuxe before shipping; however, you still could receive a hitchhiker or two! They will not hurt you; they only help.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bennies! 

Thank you for taking the time to read the above! Happy GROWING!!

Love,

The Plant Nuk aka MICHELE!
