Calling for help for my Alocasia 🆘 I got this Alocasia Polly a bit… | Pests, diseases and problems | Planta-fællesskab

Calling for help for my Alocasia 🆘 I got this Alocasia Polly a bit over a week ago (PS it’s my very first Alocasia), and honestly the Plant store didn’t have the best conditions and some of the plants didn’t look happy (super risky, I know… but she looked beautiful and I didn’t want her to die there 😢). So I saw right away a yellow/brownish spot on one of the leafs, and a few days in I noticed some tiny netting under the leaves (spider mites I guess 🫨), so I gave her a wash and sprayed her and her soil with a neem oil/dish soap solution). It’s been a week and I haven’t noticed any reappearing, but i will definitely reapply and keep her away from my other plants. Today I also noticed a bit of yellowing on another leaf. What else could it be? Is there any other measurements I can take, from your experience? Thanks in advance!!! 💚

    ❗️Quick update: Just fully changed her soil, since it seems like they overwatered her and the soil was constantly wet for almost a week.

    Yellowing on the edges is consistent with spider mites. I would continue to keep her away from other plants and keep at it with the pest control. Other thing I would think of would be, is the plant getting enough nutrients? Or possibly acting funny from shock if she was repotted? I would keep a daily eye on her, keep treating for spider mites and see how she progresses.
