Hi there!! I got this Alocasia mortfontanensis. It technically has two plants in it. One of the plants is popping out a new leaf but the other isn’t. Each plant has this going on with its leaves. It’s only two or three leaves for now but I’m wondering what is going on. It only gets part light, I have a humidifier and the temp. in my apartment is 65-70 degrees. My other Alocasia Frydek is doing just fine. I was just wondering if anyone knew what this is?

It's beautiful! Is the discolour crispy or soggy?

Crispy

if it's new, it's probably in shock. alocasia are very fussy. but, this looks like overwatering, and alocasia are infamous for root rot.
