I’d take it out if that soil all together. Use pon or some version of it with a self watering pot.
Looks like my Alocasia Polly. Bright indirect light, very close to my humidifier. Never complete dry soil but doesn't want to be soggy
@KDkat3 where do you get pon from? i’ve never heard of it
@celestia you can find it on Amazon. That’s where I get mine. This is what it looks like. You can see my alocasia is growing a root out the top lol. You can also try Leca too. Some people really like it.
@KDkat3 Thank you! i’m definitely gonna try it
Mine started doing the same thing when I first brought it home. The game changer was the humidity. The leaves stopped turning brown after I moved it from a spot with 30-40% humidity to a cabinet that I keep around 50-70%. Hope this helps, good luck!
