Alocasia audacity

My alocasia low rider is determined to lay herself low. I have her in a great, well-draining mix, water whe she's dried out, and have her sitting near an east-facing window. roots look fine. Her leaves keep yellowing. I've already removed several. What can I do? #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #alocasiaaddicts #alocasia

Hey, Philli! Long time, no see! Sorry to hear about your alocasia. How high is the humidity where it is? I know they love humidity. (:
The roots look good to me. Alocasia hate having their roots disrupted so they tend to lose a few leaves after repotting. As long as the roots are fine, donโ€™t worry too much about it. Do check it for spider mites though just in case :)
@sarahsalith, hey Sarah! Yeah, I've been here, just low-key. Humidity probably isn't the best where my girl is. I may move her near a humidifier. She's also by a vent, now that I'm thinking about it. Maybe too drafty.
See? You already know what you need to do. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm trying to be back in the swing of purposefully putting time into Greg again. Life sure has its ups and downs! I hope you have been doing well. (:
@Peachyhoyas I didn't see any pests. Maybe it's a tantrum from the repot.
@sarahsalith, indeed. My plants are sometimes all that keeps me grounded. But things get better. Troubles don't last always.
