I feel ashamed to say I lost both of my alocasias this month to spider mites 😞 should I throw them out or look for corms? Should I save the corms that already sprouted and try again? I’m not sure what to do at this point 💔

don’t feel ashamed! it happens to everyone (: alocasia’s are known to attract spider mites. i would treat them and look for corms and start again with those! you got this!!! ((:
