    Alocasia drop leaves if they’re not getting enough light. If the days are now shorter where you are and it’s not getting supplementary grow light, it’ll continue to lose leaves/may go into dormancy.

      i have it under a grow light from 7am-7pm daily, but i’m more concerned about the weird bumps on the leaf stem

    Do they come off? Could be some kind of pest.

    From the pucture it looks lije mealybugs, but since you said tan, I would venture Scale insect. Peel them off with rubbing alcohol and cotton buds
