Time to check the roots and see what’s going on. Have you repotted? Soooo many variables can play a role in the curling. Anything from pests, too much water, not enough, type of soil, water, type of water, etc. I’ve heard some people just have some alocasia that are not happy in soil and only have had success in other mediums such as pon, leca, perlite etc. it’s a lot of trial and error with these guys. I had an alocasia on the downfall for the last month and only recently figured out the problem haha

I had fungus gnats for a while and about 2 weeks ago I completely changed the soil and repotted all my plants and moved a bunch into an ikea display cabinet, watered them and then it just started looking real sad. Before that, it was a very happy plant
