I found this leaf on one of my Alocasias today. Does anyone know possible cause? No signs of buggies on the underside of the leaf. I just don’t want the whole plant to turn! Thanks!

If it’s an old leaf it’s probably just dying off. Trim it back and I recommend a balanced fertilizer to keep it growing. These go dormant if they see a need to and will drop everything and basically start over.  
If it’s a NEW leaf I’d say it’s a root issue and probably overwatered ect.
