This one hasn’t flowered yet but the flowers are super cool looking! it did put out a peduncle but it’s right on top of the soil so the buds blasted off before blooming

Lol I'm glad you found them because I did not know what they were called. I picked em up from my local nursery, they're pretty sturdy and were under $10 CAD

I think this is a pretty neat idea! For some smaller pots I use a tray filled with water (linked below) for them to butt-chug and then I move them to an empty tray to dry before putting them back in their place
4” plant pot to help with scale.
I’ve seen others use their bathtub but I like the idea of not risking dirt/perlite/etc. clogging up the drains. Depending on your drain you could use a metal debris catcher thingy like I have in my laundry room sink (I found mine at the dollar store):

- Comment on New Alocasia Jacklyn leaf came in 1 month ago:
I find if I don't make my soil super chunky then it stays damp for way too long. My house is pretty humid usually so I usually go with 1:1:1 orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil. So far all of my plants have grown well in it, though I did have a lemon button fern that loved straight soil and staying damp. I miss that little guy... Stupid thrips.

- Comment on My Pink Dragon has gotten so big! 2 months ago:
You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I'm lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I've overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she's not very interested lol

Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.
Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn't live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.
It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn't swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I'm a laxy plant parent so they didn't really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It's made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.

I don't expect it to last long on Clevatess, but I think he's probably an important part of the plot. I don't think he'll live forever but I would've been surprised if they immediately killed him off.
