hi! when i bought my alocasia zebrina from the garden centre, a couple of its leaves had brown ends (likely due to under-watering and perhaps too much light) but im just wondering if this goes away with time/what are measures i can take to ensure that it does go away/doesnt progress?

The parts that are already brown will not recover. Trim off the brown bits on the leaves to halt further deterioration. And do research on care steps and what the plant likes as far as watering and light! I pray it works out :)
