# Hi! I’m fairly new to alocasia’s and I was wondering if that…

Hi! I’m fairly new to alocasia’s and I was wondering if that lightened green edges around the plant (it is the newest leaf that came out about 3-4 weeks ago) is an issue? I’ve already checked it and there don’t seem to be any pest issues but not sure if this is normal or might be an issue? Thanks!

The photo is too dark. Need photos with lights on the leaf.

It doesn't look to be. It could just be from low humidity when it was forming.
