The biggest leaf on my elephant ear is drooping and yellowing. Is it just it’s time to go or is there anything I can do to help her:( (new plant mom, limited knowledge)

    Hi Kenzo 👋 They are notorious for loosing a lot of leaves while also producing new ones. - It takes a lot of energy for them to be able to put out a new leaf and they are fast growers. In your case it looks like it could also be a sign that your Alocasia would prefer some more light. I suggest that you try to move it to a slightly brighter spot. This will help it being able to hold on to more leaves ☺️

    You should also check for mites or thrips on it. Alocasias are like magnets! But yeah, some more light is needed.

    More light, yes but I wouldn’t put it into direct light! Mine always wilted in direct sun!
