    Is it from a pest or is this a variegated form of Alocasia? It looks like a pest problem. I’d treat it by quarantining this plant and treat with Neem oil or another insecticidal soap. Do this every 4 days for a week, then weekly for 4-6weeks to be safe. At no signs of continued pest problem you can safely bring it out of quarantine. I believe it never hurts to use Castile soap mix of peppermint, tea tree, water and alcohol in between insecticide treatments: “For homemade indoor plant bug spray, the most popular and effective options include a Neem Oil Spray (Neem oil, water, tiny bit of soap), a simple Soapy Water Spray (mild soap & water for aphids/mites), or a Spicy Garlic/Pepper Spray (blended onion, garlic, pepper, water) to deter pests like aphids, spider mites, and fungus gnats by suffocating or repelling them, always testing on one leaf first.”
