Hi all! I have an alocasia that’s having some browning problems. I wait to water until it is droopy (past root rot experience with alocasias lol) and it is under a grow light. The disco ball is a humidifier haha (I also mist 1-2 times a day). Only two leaves are having this problem. I repotted within the last month, and the roots are great. The pot has drainage and is in bark, perlite, and soil. I’m concerned because it seems to be spreading on the leaves it’s on. Thanks in advance!

    Alocasias don’t like wet leaves. Stop misting immediately, it doesn’t need to be misted if it’s right next to a humidifier. The extra water sitting on the leaves is causing the tips to rot. You can trim off the tips with sterilized shears
