Over the moon with my new Alocasia Zebrina 🥰There’s one stem/leaf that is very badly dropping with a huge brown crispy section. Best to prune right down to base of plant?

Just snip it off at the base! You and the plant will feel way better :)

Snip it at the base as long as it doesn’t have a growth point on the back of its stem
