AHHHH why are the leaves turning yellow?!?! Since I got it, this alocasia has been super happy, putting out new leaves… there was a bit of a humidity issue at first and edges of one leaf yellowed, then got crispy (I cut those areas off to help keep track of any additional issues). Lately it was looking like two of the leaves were really angled down. I say angled down and not drooping because the petioles still seemed so firm! But suddenly these leaves are going totally yellow, and it doesn’t quite look like anything else I can find only one! Can someone help me? 😢 I think the health of the plant mustn’t be TOO terrible because it is putting out a new leaf! Oh, I’ve also noticed a lot more roots at the surface of the soil.

    Sorry for all of the questions but there's a lot that can be going on here... How long have you had the plant? What's the lighting like? How often do you water? The soil looks really wet and possibly very dense.

      No worries, I appreciate you being thorough! The plant is under a grow light 8 hours a day - I just measured ~120 foot-candles if that means anything to you - the soil looks wet just because I recently watered it, but I only do so when it is dry for the top couple inches of soil. The soil is pretty well draining; I got this plant in May from someone local who explained the contents of it to me back then but I can’t quite remember now - all I know is that it does seem to drain very well! And of course I dump the excess water out of the bottom of the outer pot afterward :)
