Yellow leaves
Hello, got it 3 weeks ago, everything seems fine. 4 days ago I got a growlight and now the leaves get yellow. Could this be because of the growlight or too much watering? Thank you for your help ☺️
15ft to light, indirect

Yellow leaves on an Alocasia 'Frydek' can be caused by several factors. In this case, both overwatering and the introduction of a grow light might be contributing. Alocasia plants are sensitive to changes in light and watering conditions. If the plant has been watered recently and frequently, overwatering is likely the issue. These plants prefer to dry out a bit between waterings. Additionally, the sudden introduction of a grow light may stress the plant, especially if the light is too intense or the plant isn't accustomed to it. Adjust the watering schedule, ensuring the soil isn't consistently wet, and monitor the plant’s reaction to the grow light. Moving the light farther away or adjusting its intensity may help.
Thank you Gustavo. I already moved her out of the direct light. Thought I would do her something good with this light 😅
