Look at the funky pattern on this newly unfolded leaf!! This is my first Alocasia sanderiana, it almost died when I had to leave it home alone for the hurricane, so happy to see new growth! Progress! 🌱
Ok so recently we had to evacuate my city due to a hurricane, obviously I had to leave my plants at home (no room in the car for 50 plants with two cats and a dog) so I shut off the power in case there were power surges, to prevent a fire or shortages within the walls. I came home expecting all my babies to be dead but guess what!? While all the others seemed to be desperate for some airflow, my fiddle lead fig was THRIVING. This beautiful new leaf emerged while I was gone! Apparently it likes being in a super hot apartment with no air conditioning & not being bothered for two weeks. This is the biggest, healthiest leaf it has ever produced! It’s literally too heavy now because this leaf is so much bigger than all the others
