Yellow Leaves on alocasia frydek

alocasia frydek with yellow leaves

What's Happening

Yellowing typically stems from root rot (overwatering), low humidity (<60%), acclimation/transplant shock, or nutrient deficiency. Heavy feeding habits and sensitivity to tap water (chloramine) also contribute to chlorosis.

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Inspect roots for rot; trim mushy sections and treat with hydrogen peroxide

  2. 2

    Increase humidity to 60-80% using a humidifier or pebble tray

  3. 3

    Apply 1/4 strength balanced fertilizer with every watering during active growth

  4. 4

    Switch to distilled, rainwater, or RO water to avoid chloramine salt buildup

  5. 5

    Check undersides of leaves for spider mites and treat with insecticidal soap

How to Prevent It

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix. Maintain consistent moisture (water when top 1-2 inches are dry) and high stable humidity. Provide bright indirect light (2000-5000 lux).
