Hi there! 👋👋 I recently (about 3-4 weeks ago) brought home this beautiful Alocasia Jacklyn from a houseplant store. I will preface my issue with this: I’m fairly certain this is not an issue with the store as this store is very reputable and they take really good care of their plants. Anyway, a few days ago I noticed several of the leaves yellowing (see attached image), and I’m not sure what’s up. I’ve received advice that the humidity where I have it may be too low. I was told they like well-drained roots/soil but high humidity. I do not currently have a tank or cabinet big enough to put this lady in. Two days ago, I moved the plant from its location near a southern window to a plant stand with another alocasia that’s been doing well (has a plant light)—I have not updated the location in Planta yet. Any other input would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s just to confirm the advice I’ve already been given! Help, I don’t want to kill this plant!

    Is this the oldest leaf? Or is this in the middle or top of the plant? I LOVE my Jacklyn but it’s super prone to pests and if you over water it can easily get root or stem rot. If you can’t find any pests and it’s the oldest leaf, you can always pull the oldest leaves off and pull it out to double check the roots and stem to make sure everything is good and make sure not to overwater. I’ve personally struggled with this plant but pests and overwatering were the big issues for me. I currently have a Jacklyn that is finally living and it’s in regular soil and sits on my office floor under a grow light. I don’t use cabinets for any of my plants. I just let them acclimate to the room and they seem to be doing fine. I am jealous of those with plant cabinets. Some of my rare plants should be in a better controlled environment. :/ hope this helps and good luck! This plant is one of my favs and is so stunning!

      I don’t think it’s the oldest leaf, but it’s not a new one? However, one of the new leaves is doing the same thing.

      If one of the newest leaves is doing it also, I would check the roots and stem for any rotting if you can’t find pests. If there is any rotting, I would ease up on watering so often and use a more well draining soil or put your plant in a higher light area or grow light. All plants would prefer at least 1000 lumens which most people with house plants have a hard time getting indoors through windows and grow lights unless the grow lights are about 6 inches away. Depending on how strong your grow lights are. I have a light meter tester on my phone and all my grow lights are still not close enough to my plants so I water a little less often to give the plant time to use up all the water before giving it more.

    Are you watering with tap water?

    I have one also and it is finally doing well. It has had spider mites but those are gone. I have it under a plant light and near a humidifier.
