Hey I’m new here. My elephant ear plant is positioned in an area receiving fair sunlight and making sure it is not overwatered. Why is it still turning yellow and looks like this? Help please 😪

It could just be older leaves dying if you have no water or lighting issues. The rest of the leaves look fine. 🍀🪴

I’m still new to Alocasias, but I’d recommend checking out Aloha Plant Life on Youtube. She has a great care guide video on Alocasias. She also has a great video called “Master the Language of Houseplant Leaves” which is really long but SO helpful (you can just skip to the relevant sections) and has changed the game for me being able to accurately diagnose my plant problems.
