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!

Any idea as to why this is happening. I got 2 from a nursery about a week ago. They both look like this and they are both in two different spots getting lots of humidity. They are both 3-4 feet away from a window no direct light. This one hasn’t been watered by me since I got it. The other one I have watered and the next day it looked like this as well. Looks like this is getting worse by the day. I have a grow light on as well for 3 hours.

I grew a corm in horticultural substrate. It literally is thriving. It recently just started growing its third leaf. When should I switch to soil or should I keep it in the substrate or possibly pon?

I have an alocasia silver dragon and the tip on one of the leaves is dry but the leaves aren’t yellowing. Could this be a humidity issue? .

My first Alocasia. She (Allie) was purchased in soil and seems to be doing well. Does she need to be moved into something else, soil or pot? Thanks in advance for your advice it is greatly appreciated.
