It is thank you. Should I cut the dieing leaf ?

No I wouldn't because it is using that energy for something else. Chop when it is almost all the way dry. Basically just sucking the life out of on leaf to use it on EX: for a new leaf

Also what kind of Alocatia

### B. Roy님이 2025-11-20에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Zebrina "variegated" according the the app.

I respectfully disagree about keeping that leaf. I would trim it off - it’s yellowing and wilting because the Alocasia has already diverted nutrients and energy to other areas. They slow down growth/ go dormant during the cooler months using energy and nutrients on growing roots and corms.
