Anyone know if this is variegated?! 🧐 It’s a new leaf

I’m not sure if I need to cut this leave off. This is my Jackie, I’ve had her about 3 weeks now and she’s very young. I’m not sure if these marks are debris or something pushing out of her leaves. They appeared to be imbedded two days ago and now they seem to be ”emerging”, (nothing appears to be moving) one of them had either a tail or a dark strand on it and that’s now gone as well. The leave and its stem aren’t as dark as her other one. Cut off or just paranoid?

Why is she sagging like this??? She’s under a grow light 16 hours per day, there’s a humidifier in the room, I water every few days and they’re in Perlite. What am I doing wrong??

I’m so excited! A new leaf on my Alocasia Amazonica 🍃💗 (side note: the yellow spot is a reflection of her grow light, not a bug!)

I was gifted this alocasia from a coworker today. She wasn’t sure on the type. Can anyone ID this for me? And provide tips because I am not a pro when it comes to alocasia. Thanks!

Do I need to cut off leaves that look like this? The nursery overwatered them and now they are in pon. Just trying to figure out how to fix it. Should I separate from other plants? Not sure if this is a fungal issue but it seems like it.

Hello, I’m new to Alocasias I got this frydek about two months ago maybe 2.5 months ago. She’s gotten taller and her largest leaf unfortunately died off hence the tiny nub cut off by the base of the stem. She was under a red plant light. But that isn’t helping her anymore. I don’t have a humidifier, I’m trying to find a nice affordable one. I put her by south west facing window where there’s tons of sun. How can I help her be happier and healthier?! They have become my new favourite plant and I don’t want to lose her. I’d love to take care of all the different kinds of alocasias! Please share any tips!
