Possibly. What kind of soil is she in? Alocasias like lots of drainage but frequent watering.

#### Brittany respondió el 2023-07-27

She’s in chunky soil.

Its possible its a type of fungus (brown spot) that could use treatment. Usually it appears on lower leaves in high humidity. Could also be caused by too much humidity with not enough airflow. You could also try cutting back on watering as even if its chunky soil, sometimes the water doesn’t evaporate fast enough

What treatment?

#### Plants\&theirMediums respondió el 2023-07-27

Quarantine the plant, prune the infected leaves, use a fungicide (neem oil is fine), and put the plant in a place with more airflow. Also try to avoid getting water on the leaves. Also check your other plants for brown spot or thrips and quarantine them if needed.

Look for thrips. You’ve got more than one plant with issues.

I have inspected and don’t see any bugs
