Please help what do I do , I have a jacklyn and a batwing and they are just not doing well at all the leafs are yellowing and dropping my batwing is quite new but I have had my jacklyn for while and she was always doing well. I have checked for bugs and root rot but all looks good. I have them on my plant shelf with a grow light and humidifier, has anyone else had this problem and how did I fix it if so 😢☺️

( Soil damp as they where just watered Befor photo’s where taken )

Do you know how much light your grow light gives? What our eyes perceive and what's useful to plants can be surprisingly different. Planta's light meter can give you a general idea, but a separate app like photone or an actual light meter will have better accuracy. I use photone every time I give a plant a new home and so far it's worked well for me.

Google this “do alocasias go dormant in winter”. My Polly does, but not the others.
