I'm new to alocasia and recently got this guy. It came with a small brown/yellow spot or two on two leaves. Then all of them started looking like this and crisping from the outside in. I repotted into chunkier soil and had to treat for thrips so I'm thinking these leaves might just be done for. Should I just chop them off and try to regrow it? Lol
