    Have you been misting it?

    Following this post. My black velvet has developed some sort of rotting wet marks as well. I’m curious the cause.

    A quick Google search said they were “blisters” of water from being over watered.

    Alocasias don’t like wet leaves, it causes them to develop fungal/bacterial infections. I think this was caused by water sitting directly on the leaves. If it was overwatered the leaves would turn yellow. To increase humidity use a humidifier instead of misting.

    I literally never heard anyone saying they mist their plants 3 times a week that is no good

      I just did what the app told me to do, this is the only alocasia I own. Never had experience with it.

      I understand one thing I learned is plants should never be on a schedule it can help you give you an idea of when to start paying attention to the soil but majority of plants I wait for completely dry

    Better to just get a humidifier

    And just a helpful tip misting indoor plants can promote fungus and rotting especially if it doesn’t dry fast enough if you can get a humidifier that would be better humidity helps with growth
