Hey y’all! So I bought this giant elephant ear (Alocasia sarian) on a massive sale about a week ago but not too sure how to care for it best. I have read it likes humidity and part sun part shade so I have it in my bathroom where it gets partial light from a southwest window about 6 ft away. I’m concerned it’s not doing to well because the leaves have been yellowing and one of the leaves has started to change color a bit. Any recommendations on how to care for it would be awesome!! also any help or suggestions for the leaves/ tell me if it’s normal or not would be much appreciated!!:))

    I don’t have any experience with alocasia sarian, but I think that if all the leaves are turning yellow, you’ve got a problem. Maybe she’s not getting enough light, or maybe she’s waterlogged. Have you checked the light with the Planta app? Does the pot have drainage, and do you use a moisture meter before watering?

    Have you checked it for spider mites? I see some suspicious markings.
