She had spider mites.. Sprayed with soapy water (as per advice i was given) and she dropped three stems + leaves and looks like this now. These two stems don't feel squishy or anything anymore... Help! Pink Dragon or Pink Princess Alocasia.

I've heard alocasia's called "the spider mite hotel" haha. I've had spider mites a few times on my alocasia. I've found the soapy water works best prayed on the soil too. Wiping the leaves with a soft cloth to get off any extra soap. Make sure you quarantine it from the rest of your plants or you'll have an outbreak!

All the mites are gone.. That's when the leaves started to die! After they were gone!

It might be a chemical burn from the soap? I did that to my black velvet alocasia. The leaves didn't die, just looked ugly until they passed from natural causes.

I would still quarantine even if you don’t physically see them anymore. Those buggers are tiny and love hiding on soil. I brought home an Alocasia frydek from a nursery that was infested with spider mites. I took it away from my other plants, sprayed it with neem oil and covered the whole thing in diatomaceous earth. I had it sit for about a week like that and no more spider mites. In my experience your alocasia should be fine if there’s no more mites.
