# Two separate leaves on my Alocasia platinum. Is this healing from…

Two separate leaves on my Alocasia platinum. Is this healing from trouble spots or is this a pest??? Particularly concerned about that big spot in the first picture. Plant seems to be getting soft around it. Help!  
He has lots of humidity by the way

i'm honestly not sure what those spots are, but i want to tell you that my big silver drag has it too. doesn't seem to be harming the plant at all, more of a cosmetic thing. only big issue i've ever had with it is fungus gnats and spider mites. if the spot ever spreads i kinda just cut it off and ignore it 🙈 i'm leaning towards possible sun damage but because it's not doing anything i don't care about it too much

In my specific case the spots got bigger, so I researched and it turns out they’re fungal infections. Might not be in your case, but I would watch out just in case! Hope this helps!

i was really really hoping it wasn't that... but you've inspired me to look more into it and it is, in fact, that. 😓 thankfully only one of my alos has the spots and it isn't hurting it too much. will get on treating it asap!
