Elephant ear growth?

Hello fellow plant lovers! I had a question about my elephant ear Alocasia and was hoping the community could help me! I’ve had this plant for a few years now and they’re doing great with a lot of growth since I was gifted this beautiful plant. However I have noticed that typically when a new leaf sprouts, an old one dies. As I understand it, this isn’t abnormal for this plant, but I’m wondering if this is something that can change if I adjust its care? It gets pretty good natural indirect/ bright light (no longer under a grow light) and I keep its environment pretty humid. Has anyone else experienced this with this plant? Should I be worried? Any input is appreciated ☺️
4ft to light, direct

The one piece of advice I can offer based on my EEA was spider mites would often get to the leaves causing the older one to die off sooner... So be sure to give your little buddy a nice rub down every once in a while
