This leaf has been progressively getting worse since I got it and I was wondering what’s wrong with it it’s a alocasia elephant ear

I’ve had problems with mine. Changing the soil to mostly perlite or leca has helped me. Getting more indirect light and less watering has made mine better. I think they really need to dry out in between waterings

I also had this issue and honestly my solution was just to cut the leaf off, this is obviously indicative of something else, probably needs a better watering schedule or repotting, but Alocasias grow from bulbs and if you cut every single one of the leaves off, they can still grow back and sometimes better than before
