# does anyone know what’s on my newest leaf of my silver dragon? i want…

_Posted by emily on 2024-12-08_

does anyone know what’s on my newest leaf of my silver dragon? i want to say it’s a little bit of variegation but i’m not sure. it had a little bit of trouble coming out so there’s a small hole in it and it’s still hardening. i’ve had it for about 2 months now and check it daily, there is no sign of pest damage or pests

It is caused by inconsistent watering.

thank you! i check the soil daily and don’t water unless it needs it. it’s hard to tell on camera but the spots are almost cream colored? i have about 20 alocasias in this room that all go pretty much about the same with watering, and ive yet to see this pattern on any others

If it had a hard time coming out, the coloration is more than likely from humidity issue
