i’ve heard mixed things! letting all the nutrients go into the rest of the plant is usually a good thing to do but with alocasia being a spider mite magnet you might wanna just get rid of it before it becomes a target? but if you don’t have many pest struggles i’d say keep it till its yellow!

Thanks! I haven’t encountered any mites which is good but I could definitely see how that could be an issue!

My zebrina likes moist soil but not soaked or dry. It likes the soil to be like damp hair all the time. I was having issues with keeping leaves steady that was my problem.
