# Any idea what’s wrong with my baby Alocasia? The first leaf did great…

Any idea what’s wrong with my baby Alocasia? The first leaf did great but this second leaf grew in kinda weird? Not sure what’s wrong with it. Also, the tip of the first leaf is starting to brown and turn crispy.

I don’t have any answers but very similar thing is happening to mine. I’m letting it dry out a little and moved it slightly further from the light to see if it helps.

This is the information I found. They prefer to be uniformly moist but you can allow the top inch of soil to dry before another watering. I think the most significant effect is humidity though. They prefer quite high, 60% to 80% so I would guess this is your issue.

I suspect You're keeping to wet in that pebble tray. There should be a barrier between pot bottom and the water. If it's been that way for awhile, I'd upot and check for root rot.
