I’ve experienced that all Alocasias have a high leaf turnover so it might just be an old leaf. But it can also be a good idea to check the light conditions 😊 Alocasias likes more light than most people think!

Okay this is good to know! This is the second leaf that has done this so I wasn’t sure! Right now she is in my room which gets a lot of bright indirect sunlight. Do you think that is enough?

Made sure the soil isn’t compacted and gently aerate with a chopstick if it is. If it has a drainage hole try bottom watering only for a while.
