Alocasia Lauterbachiana Purple Sword
About:
Alocasias needs to be kept in a warm and humid environment if not humid enough, your plant has been burnt by direct light, or it is unhappy about being exposed to cooler temperatures. You may ultimately loose this leaf, but by changing the environmental conditions that you believe are failing, you will be able to prevent it from occurring to the other leaves on your plant.

Yellowing or loss of leaves: Over watering will cause your Alocasia to have yellowing leafs which it eventually drop as a key survival tactic. Leaf dropping can also occur due to under watering. Alter your watering regime and check your plant has good air circulation. Once this is corrected your plant should grow new healthier leaves. The yellowing of one smaller, older, leaf can also be a sign that your plant is simply reinvesting it’s energies into its new growth. Check to see if a new leaf is present at the same time as the yellowing of the older leaves are found. This will explain the issue and is considered quite a normal process for Alocasia’s.
Spider Mite: Is a bug that tends to be drawn to Alocasia’s. A key indicator to keep an eye out for is a grey discolouration on your Alocasia leaves
