# What’s wrong with my Alocasia dragon scale? Some spots are starting…

_Posted by 🪴❤️Enzo❤️🪴 on 2024-08-25_

What’s wrong with my Alocasia dragon scale? Some spots are starting to get yellow and it is also getting a bit crispy. I mist her everyday and she gets bright indirect light. I also don’t let her dry out a-lot because I know they aren’t a fan of that. She does have a new leaf coming up so maybe this old leaf is just dying? TIA!!!

Always check the roots. My silver dragon done this and had root rot

If not root rot, then worth looking at misting less. I have two dragon scales and they don’t like to have water hanging out on their leaves. I mist once a week but in summer (in the UK) they do well at about 60% humidity.

I do also have a couple of humidifiers which are great for when it’s dry, or in winter. Worth investing in one if your air is super dry, vs misting every day.
