# Hi, I have my elephant ear alocasia plant and she doesn’t seem to be…

_Postat av Kheyla den 2025-01-23_

Hi, I have my elephant ear alocasia plant and she doesn’t seem to be doing good.. I think she might have mites that I’m currently treating with soapy water, rinse and dry, and then a little neem oil.. I checked for root rot but she’s healthy when it comes to that. Her roots are in great condition. Are her leaves turning like this because of the mites or is it something else?? She gets indirect lighting and I have a grow light for her in case she needs pick me ups I use a humidifier and like I said her roots are great. What’s happening??

Yellowing on the edges is often a humidity issue. I know you said you have a humidifier but maybe it needs more. Perhaps move the humidifier closer to the alocasia or add a pebble tray under the alocasia.

I’ll be trying this as well! Thank you 😊

You know, I just realized you do have it in the pests and diseases I did not realize they showed posts from all my different groups at the same time.
