I am not an alocasia expert by a long shot, but this frydek (I’m pretty sure that’s what she is) has been doing great! I just moved three months ago and it just put out a big new leaf about two weeks ago! I had to go away for about 10 days so she didn’t get watered :( and now the new leaf looks like this. Could it still be forming? Or is it a water issue? I checked the roots and some are poking out the bottom of the pot and they look very healthy, no rot. Does anyone have any idea?💚

Mine gets yellow around the edges when it gets too dry
