hii, i got this alocasia not too long ago from lowes and shes growing well and other wise seems healthy, but the newer leaves have almost warped ? into this weird shape, i can bend them back but its definitely damaging and id rather not.
soil drains well, i water around every 12ish days once the soil has dried out, shes around 3 feet away from a south facing window, along with 2 grow lights a bit further away for my other plants, there is a humidifier and humidity is around 75-85%
im wondering if its a nutrient deficiency, but i have no idea what its deficient in or what fertilizer it may need, any help appreciated!!!

Don’t worry about bending it back, I think it looks really beautiful tbh. What kind of Alocasia? The leaves look very healthy, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Any aroid fertilizer is good, I try to find something organic and that won’t burn the roots, personal fave is Big Green Leaves by bless your soil, that stuff is amazing! Fox farm products are also phenomenal.
Hm, i gave it a quick online search as i have no experience with this hybrid. So its a hybrid between lauterbachiana x plumbea. Maybe the plumbea genes are a little more prominent in your plant, hence why the waviness of the leafs? To be honest, i find the look more interesting than concerning!
