My Alocasia Frydek keeps dropping leaves. And now the only leaf left is starting to get lighter and color at the tip… do I need to worry? Just put it in a spot with more light (grow light 10ish inches away)

Does it live in a humid environment?

No

I recommend putting a humidifier nearby your plant. It should help because alocasias are tropical plants.
