Hello all - I recently purchased this Alocasia Ivory Coast from a nursery, and have since noticed that there are yellow/brown spots developing on many of the leaves (see attached pictures). Any idea what could be causing this and how to stop it? The plant otherwise seems happy as it is starting to grow three new leaves.
Thanks

Often those little brown spots, especially like in the 3rd picture, are indicative of a pest problem. Pets like spider mites that feast on the sap in leaves will suck all of the liquid out of little points on leaves, causing small dehydrated spots. Isolate and inspect your alocasia carefully!
