this is happening to my alocasia too!!! :( i'm guessing for me at least it's because of humidity, or maybe lack of light 😓

Thank you! I will look into my humidity and light situation. Hope your plant gets better soon!

I am really new to allocasia, and I really would like to know what people say and how this works out for you. I just bought one that looks just like yours!

#### ang replied on 2025-01-28

I will let you know if I learn anything!

### Dee4Life commented on 2025-01-28

Sorry about the leaves. Maybe just transitioning to a new home?

#### ang replied on 2025-01-28

Possibly, started in new pot a couple months ago

### Dee4Life commented on 2025-01-28

Different soil?

#### ang replied on 2025-01-28

Kept in tropical soil, new soil in the pot though
