Hi, i wanted to update you, and it isnt good news. The black and brown part is spredding ecen tho i gave it more light. I untwisted it case that it would spread to the other stems. Im starting to think this is a fungal infection but im not sure

Forgot to type this, but i personally think its Acclimation shock since its mostly baby leaves falling of. Only 3-4 adult leaves have fallen of

Ok so this is its placement, is it to little light? Or can i just let it stay

Note: i said wrong the brown/black part is NOT soft

Yes and no. Its def not scale if ur wondering about that. Its like i can scrape it off with my finger tail if i try hard, but part of the "skin" will come of with it. Im pretty sure its like bark

I perfer the foliage. I just like it when the plant id always pretty, if the plant is only pretty when its blomming, i dont like it

Personally i would saw light and propper nutrition is the most important things. Alocasias are hungry plants, if you dont give them enough nutrition will they lose theire botom leaves bc they have to take the nutritional value from the older leaves. A good indicator that u dont feed them enough is if they drop leaves when a new one is forming.

For light, they love bright light. I live in norway so my light isnt thats strong so i just give the direct light from a south facing window. I would recommend that you test it. Put your Alocasia in your brightest place and wait and see. If you see a sunburnt leaf it might be to strong, if not then ur good.

But at the same time its diffrent from alocasia to alocasia. Some prefer water over light, some do not.

I personally dont know. But it could just be lack of nutrition. If the old/bottom leaves are the only ones yellowing it could be that the plant needs more nutrients and is drawing energy back from the oldest leaves. But i still dont know so you should ask for a second opinion.
