    Get the proper soil for your alocasia. Well draining soil will be your best choice. Bright indirect light too

      What kind of soil would you suggest, I’ve bought a coco blend and a chunky blend

    Be very consistent about watering. Alocasias shock easily, so don't be surprised if it throws a tantrum over being moved; it'll probably drop one or two leaves and then calm down.

    Use a chunky, fast-draining aroid mix made from potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Mine is thriving with this mix
