# Hi, I’ve had this ‘Black Velvet’ Alocasia since May and grew a second…

Hi, I’ve had this ‘Black Velvet’ Alocasia since May and grew a second plant from a corm I discovered when repotting soon after purchasing. She has been mostly healthy and bloomed in July. However, it recently developed brown edges on 3 leaves in mid Nov and two of those leaves recently turned very yellow in the past 5 days or so. These photos are from yesterday. Some leaves had been misted when I decided to take a photos.

I thought with the brown tips I was under watering as it did get dry; or providing too much light, so I moved further away from grow light about a week ago. Now with the yellowing I’m wondering if I’m overwatering. I’m definitely not watering more often than recommended. I admit I don’t always test the soil. I do know they are notoriously challenging, but it was doing so well. I’ve added a photo of the whole plant. Any thoughts or advice? Thank you in advance.
