Please help!! I’ve had this Alocasia plant for 3 years now and while I haven’t killed it, it’s not looking so good.

It’s in an ikea self watering pot and has light plus I spray every once in a while.

Haven’t repotted this plant for a year now. Does it need a new pot? Why isn’t it looking healthy?

check its soil/roots! it may very well be root bound in there and need more room! if it isn’t that maybe it is asking for more humidity!

Repot, the self watering pots kill plants all the time. Check roots and repot
