Generic Identification
Stops at naming. Often misses stress patterns behind leaf damage, watering imbalance, and cultivar-specific risk.
Clinical-Grade Plant Intelligence
Clinical diagnostics for the plants you cannot afford to lose.
Most plant apps guess. Aroida diagnoses.
Built for rare cultivar collectors and serious home growers who expect evidence-based care.

Critical
Spider Mite Infestation
Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek Variegata'
The Verdict
Your variegated Alocasia is currently hosting a significant spider mite colony, which is common when air is dry. The fine webbing and tiny moving specks are classic signatures of active mites as they drain sap from the leaves. Because this plant is still small and manageable, immediate intervention can stop spread and preserve remaining foliage.

Bespoke Care Protocols
Care Plan
01
Immediate
Physical Blast
Take your plant to the sink and use a gentle, lukewarm spray to physically wash away webbing and as many mites as possible from both the tops and bottoms of the leaves.
02
Today
Oil Treatment
Once the leaves are dry, thoroughly coat the plant with Neem oil or a horticultural soap. Pay special attention to leaf undersides and where leaf meets stem, as mites hide in these crevices.
03
Every 5 Days
Repeat Treatment
Spider mite eggs hatch quickly. Repeat the spray treatment every 5 to 7 days for at least three cycles to break the life cycle of newly hatched mites.
04
Ongoing
Humidity Boost
Move the plant away from dry air sources like heaters. Use a pebble tray or small humidifier nearby, as mites struggle to reproduce in humid environments.
Warning
Clinical warning: soaps and Neem oil can be toxic to pets if ingested; keep the plant out of reach while treatment is wet.
03
Veterinary-Backed Safety
Pet Coexistence & Response
The immediate stinging sensation from calcium oxalate crystals usually stops pets after the first bite.

Practical Tips
01
Place the plant on a heavy, elevated stand out of reach of pets.
02
Use bitter deterrent sprays on the lower trunk if pets are curious.
03
Provide pet-safe grasses to distract from Alocasia foliage.
