Calatheas have a hard time with lime so get some distilled water for that one.

Alocasias are very temperamental and need a well draining chunky soil mix. Google “Aroid soil mix” for reference. They are very prone to rot rot and if it’s not in ideal conditions the leaves will fall like flies.  
Both Calatheas and Alocasias need distilled water however calatheas don’t like to dry out too much in between waterings. Calatheas also need humid conditions 60% or above to prevent dry/crispy leaves.
