Hi, i have another question if you don't mind :)

Do you recommend to cut the spathe on alocasia in order to collect the pollen easier?

I have never actually tried to collect Alocasia pollen. Only Anthurium pollen. Buses, it would make it easier. Some people do and some prefer to just brush off with a paint brush. I know with some of my bigger Anthurium spadices, after I have removed some pollen it has seemed to make more

I have actually not ever seen that happen. But I am hoping it will leaf soon. Pulling for you!

Hi Gina1960, i would like to ask you a question about my Alocasia cuprea, i dont know what happened but the leaf starts to curl, i live in a tropical country and place it outside with an indirect sunlight, and water them regularly when the media starts to dry out, do you know how to fix this? what should i do? thank you 🙏🏻

I would just gently press the edges back and pop it into a concave form
