Me too! Took a while but I love how it turned out

Although there is root rot, could another reason your frydek was drooping because it grew to be too close to the light source inside your cabinet? I’ve watched videos where people who are amazing at taking care of alocasias would say that sometimes if the leaves are drooping downwards- almost like it’s trying to hide it’s leaves, it could be it is receiving too much direct light. I’m only bringing this up because there were more healthy looking roots compared to the rotted ones. Frydeks are so sensitive to repots- so I’m not surprised it rotted back into a no leaf stump ☹️

@ohtheplacesyoullgrow

So this vessel with LECA doesn’t have drainage so it can maintain reservoir. My plants in soil do have drainage (except those in self watering setups)

Since I started using a heat mat for corm propagation, my success rate is almost 100%. it seems like they really, really like warmer water. I could imagine that cold water is deterring them to start growing.

Learn from my failures please 😂

Frydeks are so hard! But you have insurance x 6! I love alocasias for that. Have you ever tried the "shallow puddle" method for corm propagation? I just put them in a little dish of water with a plastic cover on a heat mat and they usually sprout roots in ~2 weeks. I then keep them in water until they open the first leaf (usually only 1-3 weeks after the roots start) and then transfer to pon. Seems to only take about 4-6 weeks from corm harvest to pon transfer with this method. I've tried sprouting in stratum before and after 2 months of nothing, I got impatient and moved to water and had roots and a leaf a few weeks later.

@ohtheplacesyoullgrow yeah, that's definitely the caveat! I've dried out many myself.

I made the mistake once of using too much peroxide in a reservoir and it ended up killing most of the roots. Leca roots don't do peroxide very well at the standard dilution.

@ohtheplacesyoullgrow

In general you prevent root rot by ensuring your soil is well draining and they you are managing water appropriately. In my case, the frydek was not doing well in LECA and I’m in the process of slowly transitioning all my Alocasias away from LECA. This isn’t to say that LECA is bad. I have friends who successfully grow all their Alocasia in LECA, but for me in my environment, it wasn’t working.

Good luck rehabbing the mother plant! Maybe you stressed it out by repotting but it looks like it'd be worse if you didn't do anything! With my Alocasia luck, 8 Alocasia Frydeks sounds like seven backups to me! 🤣
