# Can anybody give me ideas on what could be wrong with my dragon…

_Posted by Emily on 2024-02-15_

Can anybody give me ideas on what could be wrong with my dragon scale? I’ve tried a pebble tray to see if humidity would help, I’ve also moved to a brighter window thinking it didn’t get enough light. Am I watering too much or not enough? I usually wait until the soil feels dry and use a skewer. It is trying to sprout another leaf too.

Are you misting the plant? What’s the temperature of the room it’s in? Alocasias will droop and drop leaves in temps under 70°

I tried misting and didn’t notice any difference so I tried the pebble tray and it kept yellowing. The house temp is set to 70

Misting could’ve caused the spots, they don’t like their leaves wet and can cause fungal issues. Being near a window, the temp may be colder (causing it to droop). These plants are very finicky but your watering schedule is good, I wouldn’t change it. Just keep an eye out for more spots, for now you can trim the edges that are damaged if it’s too unsightly.

Okay thanks!

Also, because I am pest PARANOID, there seems to be a lot of dust on it. Alocasia’s can be susceptible to pests because of all the nooks and crannies. You should make sure you are carefully wiping down the leaves regularly
