Q: I have recently added an alocasia to my houseplant collection. It has large leaves, which are usually green, but some have quickly turned yellow in the last week or so. What should I do?
A: Alocasias are a type of elephant ear plant, and their statement leaves make them a popular tropical indoor plant. Over time, it's natural for their fabulous foliage to turn yellow. But, it can also signal a problem, meaning something isn't quite right in their growing environment.
