I just got this guy a week ago at Whole Foods for 19.99. He had been recently watered and dirt was damp for several days
 Yesterday morning he had these 2 yellowing leaves and another one that wasn’t very yellow fell down and broke off today- there’s a new leaf coming up where it was but it was not an old leaf so I’m concerned. We’ve had a crazy hot week and humidity in my house keeps dropping to 30s (I bought a humidifier this week to help mitigate.) none of my other alocasias have reacted same way but none of them are big guys like this. It is possible the dirt was totally dry for half a day - I have had tendency to over water my alocasias so I was trying to not do that but this week has been so hot đŸ„” and dry and maybe I overcorrected? Any suggestions to help him through this stressful transition? TIA

    I’m sorry I don’t have good advice for your Alocasia 😓
 I just wanted to say I love your floor! Is it cork?

      Nice! I don’t see a lot of people with cork floors. But they’re great, and they look so cool!

    Have you checked the roots? It could be root rot if the soil was too wet for too long

      Yes, I am pretty sure it was just new environment shock - no root rot and new leaves are emerging as the older ones yellow and die off. I’m hopeful that he just needs to settle in.
