i got my alocasia about a month ago. Its been pretty good but this leaf has started turning yellow. The leaf and plant overall seems healthy but does anyone know why this is?

Alocasias will drop older leaves to conserve energy for new growth. If your plant looks overall healthy I wouldn’t worry about it just yet.

Yep that's normal. Some of the other leaves show curling that suggests it'd like more humidity, especially when new leaves are unfurling
