My Alocasia is yellowing! I need help! It’s facing a northeast window, and about 6 feet away from it.

Mine has been doing a similar thing- I’d love to hear what others say!

Not enough light

You’ll need more lighting. Alocasias need a little bit more than is intuitive to give them. I would aim for 200 - 300 foot candles of light.
