It looks overwatered. The soil is staying wet too long and/or being watered too often. Let it dry more between waterings. Raise the inner pot higher in the outer pot to get better air flow to the top soil. This will help it dry faster. Ensure the pot is not sitting in standing water.

Thank you. I have a diffuser by it, do you think it’s keeping it to moist? 🤍🪴

It’s not a humidifier issue for the soil. It could be an excess humidity issue if the humidity levels were so high it’s preventing the leaves from releasing water. I don’t think that’s the problem with the new growth.

Humidifiers don’t keep the soil moist, this is a soil/watering issue like mentioned above. Alocasias like a very chunky soil mix and like to dry between waterings

I’ve only had it for 3 weeks and when I got it one of the leaves had edema so I clipped it off. I watered it one some then. I’ll let it dry out and cross my fingers. 🤍🪴 Thanks for your advice guys.
