Can someone help? I’m new to loving plants and I got this for free 5 days ago. I repotted it immediately as the pot didn’t have significant drainage. This big leaf here in front went from bad to worse. It’s in an area where it says part sun part shade according to the app. I’m thinking maybe not enough sun? 🤔

Good luck! Mom gave me a bunch to try to grow indoors, they’ve all died except one. I cut off every dead leaf and am hoping to see new growth but.. not having good luck unfortunately.

If this is a Alocasia or Colocasia it’s probably just leaf shed. I’ve learned to accept it and it almost always means a new leaf
