Anyone know why my plant is doing this? It’s an outdoor plant and we live in Florida. Was doing fine until recently. I know we’ve had a bit of a cold snap but I don’t think that’s the issue? Could it be that I need to repot maybe? The leaves are yellowing and becoming transparent for clarification
this looks like fungus.
1 Like Oh no. Any recommendations?
1 Like cut back foliage, put in a windier spot, purchase an antifungal. neem oil works pretty well, but if you don't see results, buy a proper antifungal. this looks like powdery mildew to me

Ooh yeah and make sure the trimmings get bagged and put in the garbage, not composted or left out. Powdery mildew is sorta inevitable because it travels so easily, but you can cut down on it if you dispose of infected material properly. Clean your tools right away afterwards too

Oh snap! Any falling iguanas in your area? 🦎 How low was your cold snap? I see the temps got down to the 30s recently in some parts of Florida. Your alocasia looks like my pumpkin patch after the first frost here in Oregon! Outermost leaves tend to go first, jumping on the grenade for the inner leaves. I’ll cross my fingers for you that those leaves were just the casualty of some brief, crazy weather!
