Alocasia odora Variegata

Hi, i bought this plant 4 days ago. I noticed that one of the leaves the edges are really thin and delicate looking. As days went on, I saw it started to brown. It does get plenty of sunlight and I’ve put it next to a humidifier. Anybody know what I can do to prevent it from getting worse? Thank you

Same with my variegated frydek…. Leaves looked great but after I brought her home, some parts started drying almost… humidity is at a good range as well… wondering why

Plants could just be adjusting to their new environment. My frydek dropped a leaf a few days after bringing it home but has since given me a big half moon. Alocasias are a bit dramatic like that. I soundly be too concerned unless it was dropping all of its leaves

Wouldn’t not soundly. Autocorrect smh
