Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows what’s happening to my alocasias. I can’t figure it out. Help would be very appreciated.

This is probably from overwatering which can make fungal spots so you should cut the leaves with a lot of spots and make sure there’s no water on the leaves directly and use neem oil

Okay thank you.

Alocasia’s are often sold in soil that is completely inappropriate for the plants needs. You should get some aroid soil or chunky forest mix soil, and repot your plant with that fresh soil that has an airiness quality to it. Then, when you water it, it won’t hold onto the water for so long. Also they do like to breathe a bit between waterings. Don’t keep the soil constantly moist. Do these 2 things and you will eliminate the plant constantly losing leaves and having fungal problems. Or, put it into Letchuza Pon semi-hydro if you are up for a challenge, which would be even better for this species.
