I’m wondering if these leaves are yellowing due to age or if I have a different issue on my hands. Insight welcome!

in my experience, alocasia leaves never die to "age". i have alocasias with leaves that are over a year old. it's almost always nutrient deficiency, but people just call it age because they underestimate how HUNGRY these things are

any feeding recommendations?

This is a good all-purpose. It’s very versatile, it can be used with soil \& semi-hydro setups. It’s also very reasonably priced as it only takes 1 tsp per 1 gallon of water, it’ll last for a very long time.

But really any all-purpose fertilizer will do, just follow the label instructions.
