I’m not sure what’s going on with her! She was fine the other day, but now her leaves are turning yellow. I checked her soil and it’s moist, but not wet or damp. I do have her infront of a humidifier so could that be the reason? Please help!

      How much light does Ellie get?

      It’s sitting in-front of a big window with the rest of my plants. It gets pretty good indirect sunlight, but I don’t know what sunlight she likes. I just bought it the other day 😔

      Hmm. That’s odd. Indirect sunlight is usually okay for alocasias. Maybe back her away from the window a little bit?

      I put her up a little higher so she doesn’t get as much light. I’ll see if that helps! Thank you!

      I didn’t think about that! I’ll try to move her and see if that helps!

    Alocasias are finicky little hefflers that will act up for no reason. If she's new she could just be adjusting. If you had her for a while though could be lack of fertilizer. I found out that they're pretty moderate feeders so using a schedule to fertilizer [id use a gentle 1-1-1 fertilizer to be safe] Might prevent leaf drop

      Thank you for the advice! I think I’ve only had her for about 4 days and she was perfect when I bought her. I’ll keep this in mind though!

    She looks perfectly fine. One yellow leaf is not a cause for panic….

      The first two are from today and the last is from the day I got her. I don’t think she’s fine considering her leaves are drooping and yellowing and I haven’t even got to care for her yet.
