First Alocasia. The new leaf looks weird. It is a bit cold (64) where it is but there isn’t a warmer location I can put it. I have one of those ikea mini green house but it isn’t any warmer.

I think this is mechanical damage. It wasn't humid enough as it was unfurling. The ikea greenhouse would at least up the humidity, if not the heat. You can also invest in like a $10-15 vivosun seedling mat to increase the warmth near your plants. Some also have thermostats so you can control how warm they get. Usually it's like 70-80 degrees depending on ambient temps in the room.
