# Hi! My mom has this plant (not sure what it is) that she has for…

Hi!  
My mom has this plant (not sure what it is) that she has for about 7 months. She just repotted it with tropical soil and waters it whenever she thinks it is thirsty lol. She is wondering what to do because the big leaves are starting to yellow.  
Thank you!

Thats an alocasia Jacklyn. Plants often get a little fussy when you repot. But it looks like there a little crispy brown as well? I would advise increase humidity and make sure she doesn't dry out.

Perfect, thanks so much!

Yellowing along the edges is often overwatering. Does the pot have drainage holes? If not it may be staying too wet. Or needs a repot if it's been in that pot the whole time
