Hi, what would cause this yellowing? I have 3 leaves doing this, photographed. It has just put out two much larger healthier leaves, is this just cycling? Thank you

Just being an alocasia is enough for mine

Haha, pesky little things!

Are these the oldest leaves? My alos always drop a leaf when there is a new one. It's rather annoying 😑 🙄.

Yep, the oldest leaves, one of them has been like it a few months but the other two older ones have started now but I’ve recently had two new, much bigger leaves, maybe I’m worrying for nothing! Hopefully! x x x
