Does anyone know why my alocasia leaves are folding in??? bottom left has it the worst :( it’s a blue dragon

i also have it in direct sun just to take the pic! it normally sits about a few feet away from the window and doesn’t get direct sun.

also just watered it a couple days ago and it’s potted in tropical soil!

It’s in direct sun. That will definitely damage alocasia

i have it about a few feet away from my window. i only moved it to the window to take the pic haha so it doesn’t get much direct sunlight

The soil looks dry. You’ve got it in a clay pot which facilitates that, but alocasia doesn’t want to ever dry out. Mine does well in a nursery pot in a 1:1 peat and perlite mix, in an east facing window 👍🏻😎☀️

Leaves curling under can mean lack of water. I might think about whether there is some dry rot.
