_Posted by Carafaye on 2026-05-16_

So Scales (Alocasia Silver Dragon) was purchased with about two small holes but I’ve noticed it appears to be spreading.  
(I purchased after Dragon Tales demise)  
My leaves don’t feel healthy like it’s lacking something.  
I didn’t purchase it in the best condition but this was the better looking plant out of the bunch?  
I’ve used sexy plant juice to clean my leaves my last watering I used distilled water, fertilizer and a drop of neem oil.  
HELP!!

The holes in the leaf are gonna be there. Your best bet would be to trim it and let it grow back healthy or let the leaf run its course.

If the yellow edge starts looking fungal, then look up fusarium fungus

This is from a book I borrowed from the library called “How to Not Kill Your House Plant.” I found this answer for another user the other day.

Click on this picture to see how to treat it.
