they are just sensitive plants make sure the soil is not totally dry and give bright light.

looks like either a watering issue, or some kind of chemical/mineral sensitivity. is your tap water chlorinated/fluoridated?

### Kelley Kelly’s commented on 2023-12-25

I moved it closer to the window so it gets more sunlight and when I water it since I know my other alocasia are sensitive I let water sit out a day before then water my plants..

unfortunately letting your tap water sit out does nothing but let it warm up. a small amount of chlorine may evaporate but most public water supplies are treated with chloramine instead as it’s more stable, and fluoride which will not evaporate. your tap may also have heavy metals or other toxic minerals. consider filtering and treating your tap water with aquarium water conditioner or collecting rain water for your plants instead
