My recently transplanted Colocasia Esculenta’s newest leaf was perfectly fine this morning before I left for work. After I got back, I noticed the newest leaf has a split down the center. Before I bought the plant, I read somewhere that strong winds may tear baby leaves. But I can’t find that info anymore so I’m unaware on if that’s the reason. If not, that is why I’m here. Did something else happen to my Colocasia? Or is there a preventative measure I can take? I know it’s Alocasia’s that require staking, but I don’t mind staking it if required. All the surrounding plants are fine. It’s just the tear. Any other info: Watered it today and two days ago. Got surprised by some heavy rain so it got extra watering today. It has 3 leaves so far. Technically only 2 now as I just pruned 1/3 since it was dead.

    Maybe you bummed it while transitioning it? The rain hit that spot and it tore. Second guess is something took a bite weakening the leaf structure and the heavy rain caused it to tear. They do have delicate leaves. She’s going to recover but once torn it will remain torn until this leaf retires. My mojito will get 3 maybe 4 leaves and then one the dies back. I hope this helps, happy growing!
