Check for pests

move into an east or west window, alocasias love sun. i see many people with this leaf cycling issue and i've come to the conclusion that it's almost always nutrient deficiency. i would describe alocasias as heavy feeders. all of my alocasias get a "weakly weekly" type schedule, a splash of all purpose fertilizer with every watering, which is about once a week. i have never had the leaf cycling issue.

I had a similar problem. I put mine in a dark room with only one north facing window and about a month later she decided to push new leaves.
