I have a 6 year old elephant ear plant. She is beautiful! I moved her inside before the frost and she immediately started doing poorly. The leaves started dripping. Some started turning yellowish and wilting. New leaves are a much lighter green and now the stems to the leaves seem mushy and wilty. There is only 7 leaves left out of about 20. I dont know what to do to save her and im heartbroken. I treated her for mites, slowed down watering her, and gave her that oil stuff with pesticide, fungicides, and something else but i only sprayed the leaves with it. Two of the leaves have small brown spots on them. Please help me!

Yes, I agree. this Alocasia will not want to grow in a shady house, particularly in Winter. However, low light and less water should initiate seasonal dormancy. Let this happen. Keep the pot with the dormant bulb in a cool, dark, and dry place indoors. Place it outside again next Spring, in full sun or bright partial sun. The OP mentions that the plant is six years old. I wonder what was done in previous Winters?
