I’ll feel like such a broken record, but when it comes to Alocasias I highly highly recommend semi hydroponics. If this guy is struggling beyond what we see in this picture, I would even put him in Fluval stratum to allow him time to recover. Alocasias also need more light than folks might anticipate.

I’d say the soil wasn’t chunky enough and looks extremely dry.  
It’s not getting direct sunlight is it?

Looks like the soil may not be draining enough as one of the issues? I have mine in semi hydroponic like suggested above and…knocking on wood…it’s doing very well. I’d update the soil and cut the browning leaves. Is it getting good light?
