Hey Planta peeps 🐥🩷 I need your help! My alocasia has been getting more yellow leaves lately. I tried a new fertilizer stick for the first time last watering. Think I should stick to miracle grow.

Any thoughts on what can help her?

Bonus: she is pushing out a new sprout on the side 😉 #cutie

My use of a fertilizer stick killed two plants. Obviously not what happens to all plants, but I’ve def decided to stick with liquid fertilizer.

Should I repot it in new soil?

I’d repot.
