Product description

This was originally the mother plant that got angry and I cut back. She has made her comeback and is more beautiful than ever! She is in the very very last photo (when I bought her)! Honestly if she does not sell, I will not be heartbroken to keep her in my collection! Please read shop guidelines prior to purchasing! Upgraded shipping options, heat packs, and insulation are available in my shop. Please do your due diligence and check the weather your new plant baby will be traveling in tofrom. is available in my shop. I highly recommend insulation at the least or more based off your location.

***Plant Information, PLEASE READ***

 Most of my plants are in a straight pon, pon mixed with Leca, or an alocasia mix of my choice; 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 diva 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 make my own DIY Pon mix for my established teenager and mama plants;  which I plan to offer for sale in the near future! 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow your new plant baby to acclimate to its new home for at least a week or two, prior to transplanting; this will help to lessen the shock from recently being shipped and placed into a new environment. Shipping is 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, 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. 

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. 

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 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 everytime 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 bougie 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.***For TC's I have used Fluval and Perlite, but have had better success with Lechuza Pon or small DIY pon and have recently started them and my leafy, rooting corms in pon.

TeenagerAdult Mix Per 1 gallon: For established roots2 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.

All of my plants are semi-hydro; it just works for me! 

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 prior to 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 prior to 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!
