Bought this Dragonscale Alocasia from a nursery along with a bunch of others. All of them are doing amazing except for my dragon scale alocasia : (  
She was doing great for the first few weeks but i noticed she was drying up so fast (along with other plants) and I figured it's because the heat is on and drying them out. So I put a humidifier near the plants for a few days on low and they were thriving! This one, the leaves were drying out, ends were turning crunchy almost. I was careful not to overwater by only watering a little every week and a half or so (top 3 in of soil are dry). Long story short, the plant was dying and I tried repotting it to see if it would help because I genuinely didn't know what else to do. Long story short, all the leaves died and I cut them off but this one sprouted and was thriving while the other leaves died. Now this one is literally dying and is on its last leg 😭😭 What do I do please help save my baby😭😭

Check the roots, if they are black and mush then it’s got root rot, also I wouldn’t place it on the windowsill too much direct sunlight, plus the cold could be causing it to go dormant

Was the only leaf completely white? If so, it can’t photosynthesize and will die. You can try cutting the leaf to see if a new green one will grow.

the pot looks a little wide if this was the only leaf just fyi
