My leaves are drying out.
I just got this plant a week ago and the leaves are getting worse. I think you can see them in the photo. What should I do?

@MamaLinne yes still the same soil. The said was wet when I got it last week so I hadn’t watered it until today. Today I probably gave it about half a cup-a cup.
@grassisgreen that’s good to wait until it’s nearly dry, but when you do water, soak it through until the water is running through the drainage holes! Alocasias can be kind of dramatic when they move to a new home, so support her with lots of good light and some diluted fertilizer with each watering.
@MamaLinne sounds good! Thank you!! Which fertilizer is good to use? I don’t have one yet, should probably get on that, lol
@RadRedvein63 doesn’t really matter- anything with an NPK ratio of 3-1-2 will work! I use a diluted amount (about 1/3 strength) with each watering. Alos are heavy feeders so they will appreciate it. I use Happy Happy Houseplants brand.
