Yellowing could suggest a few things – over water, nutrient deficiency, lack or light, temp issues – or all the above. I can’t see the soil well but looks low/damp – perhaps a repot/feshen up of soil first? And a feed? Hows the temp/light?
SycheosChaos on
So this is an alocasia zebrina.
I invite you to go on r/alocasias because they are quite finicky plants.
But to resume fast here:
Alocasias hate to have a soils too wet: they rot.
They also hate to be too dry: they rot
They will prefer high ambient humidity.
They need fertilizing on every watering.
Too much direct light can burn a leaf but they are not low light plants either…..
Anyways, enjoy keeping alive something that sometimes unalive itself for personal enjoyment, lol.
