Is it normal for them to lose their leaves when a new one unfurls? Mine has one leaf currently with a new one coming in and the lady I got it from told me it kept dropping its leaf whenever a new one came in đ

I think itâs common that it will lose the oldest leaf when a new one comes in. I actually have gotten two leaves pretty close together and just now losing the oldest.

It is definitely a commitment! Iâve got my humidifier going 24/7 and my plants grouped together as well as a pebble tray to keep it humid enough. So far itâs been very successful!

Alocasias sure have a high leaf turnover đ But you might also want to consider the light, pot size and nutrients.
