Does anyone else have this Alocasia I’m surprised it lasted this long i forget about him all the time and hardly water him and he seems to be pushing out new leaves. Should i cut the old ones ?

The old leaves still look very healthy. Unless you notice any big changes in the health of the leaves, I would keep them! Your alocasia looks super nice😎

The small bits of chlorosis look better than Alo being stubby 😂

As long as they're green they're still producing chlorophyll for the plant id leave them.
