My guess is I overwatered and it split the leaves and then the moisture caused the mold. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the mold? I'm gonna remove all the cracked leaves and avoid watering....

my alocasia molded terribly on its cut leaves once and i mean fuzzy and all— lots of hydrogen peroxide, dampen but don’t soil and wipe away excess, then coated with cinnamon and blew off any excess don’t want it to be chunky and moist but a nice coating, that helped get rid of any and all mold!!
