Any idea what could cause brown - what appear to be dry/dead spots specifically only along the veins?

Can someone identify what this is? I wanted to guess pink princess but I have a bigger one that just sprouted new leaves that don’t show the same dark undersides.

Should i repot my dragons breathe? It was fine before but now it’s drinking up water like nothing, I gave it a drench yesterday and it’s nearly dry again (I’m in winter, and it’s not near any heater, also it’s in a cabinet and I’m using LED grow lights so no sun is directly on it) could it be the soil is too dense or has it outgrown it’s pot?

DRAMA QUEEN ALERT 🚨 I moved it for 3 DAYS! Because I was renovating my room and look at it 😭😭

Bought this black velvet the other day for 50% off because it looked great and was just really droopy. (The plant store it was in in actually has no windows so I figured it was just from lack of sun) I’ve had it sitting in the sunny window in the day time and in this chair at night under a grow light with it leaves propped up, hoping it will give it the support to get more upright. Any suggestions to help this guy get less droopy? He’s already doing better since I brought it home. It’s actually gone up a bit and had a new growth already. (Daytime picture is when I got it home the other day)

I just ordered an alocasia corm to grow one for the first time! I hope it’s not too hard 😅 Of course, I had to dive into the deep end with a variegated frydek corm lol. I’ve grown several colocasia and caladiums from bulbs before, but they’re easier if I’m not mistaken. I failed at an alocasia flying squid in the past, but I blame that on not knowing it had a death mesh 😬 Wish me luck I guess lol 🍀 I’m super excited

My dragon scale alocasia BLOOMED!!! It’s the most beautiful flower I’ve ever seen and my proudest achievement as a plant-parent :,)

What are the two “balls” with tips on them growing from the base of my alocasia?

How do you all prevent mildew/mold/fungus from growing in your sphagnum moss container when growing corms?

New here! This may be a silly question but what type of Alocasia is in the title photo? I have the exact one and have been told it’s a Sanderiana but that never seemed right for some reason edit: I think it may be a “Pseudo Sanderiana”

My frydek’s newest leaf. I’m beyond obsessed. **shoutout to my Alocasia odora batik to the left of the frydek** 🪴💚

Help with my Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’ I've had it for three months and until lately has been fine but it only has this one leaf so I'm worried I'll lose it
Jacqueline Lyday
Please help. All other leaves have fallen off. How can I save her?

Heyy!! could someone tell me why my alocasia pink dragon has this open dark spot on it which keeps growing??

Got my first Alocasia a few weeks ago. Do these guys like to be root bound at all, or would y’all recommend repotting this guy? I would typically see roots like that and immediately repot. But I’m new to Alocasias. Thanks!

The new leaf looks like a marbled steak from behind XD, it’s so pretty tho!

Look how beautiful this leaf is that my alocasia watsoniana rewarded me during the fall season!! I made the second image brighter so y’all can see the beautiful patterns. My alocasia dragon breath is also putting out some new leaves for me 🤭

My Alocasia Frydek is pretty droopy a couple weeks after purchasing… should I be concerned?
