Need help with my Alocasia Yucatan Princess😭 she was gifted to me  
I noticed the soil was very dry so I watered her and added liquid fertilizer. The leaf was already changing color and stem droopy. Today woke up like this. She has 3 leaves (one of them is just opening up) and this is the only leaf that looks like this

It might just be the old leaf dying out. Mine does this all the time. It will perpetually maintain the same amount of leaves whenever a new one comes in. I leave it attached for awhile so that the new leaf can use its nutrients. When it’s DEAD dead I cut it off.

It could possibly be fertilizer burn too if you overdid the dosage.
