# Hey guys! Any ideas of what’s going on with my Alocasia? Or any…

_Posted by Lauren on 2024-01-18_

Hey guys! Any ideas of what’s going on with my Alocasia? Or any advice about this? I found one of his leaves like this recently and he also had a new one that died the other day too. He’s also leaning over to the side a little bit, I wasn’t sure if it was because he’s sick or just leaning towards the light. He uses a grow light instead of natural. But I’m not sure what’s going on or how to fix this.

Looks dry. Are you misting it regularly?

#### Lauren replied on 2024-01-18

I typically mist him when the app tells me to. But sometimes I can be a couple days late.

Misting alocasias won’t help with humidity and in Polly’s, it can introduce fungal leaf spot infections.

To me, this looks like an old leaf. You can just pull it off. I trim mine very regularly and it grows more. (I just cut off 4 more leaves that started to droop)

Really? I had one die and tried a new approach with mine and it’s thriving. That includes misting with rainwater every few days. Aren’t plants nuts? 😂

I would cut it off, re pot the remainder of the plant into soil mixed with perlite and water a little. I just did the same today. Mine was never repotted when I brought her home in Aug-Sept.
