The top layer (3–4 cm) usually dries out pretty quickly. Since it’s still quite moist underneath, I wait to water them to prevent root rot. But sometimes a few leaves dry out. My thought on this: The reason could be that

the soil dries out at the top, while moisture is still present further down. I don’t water yet. But sometimes leaves dry out. Does this happen because the tubers from which the leaves grow are located just below the soil surface? When do you water? Can you describe this as precisely as possible?

Hi everyone!! I bought my Zebrina a few months ago, and she grew so fast that I didn't notice she had pests. Now it doesn't look good at all. I've sprayed her a few times over the past few weeks. What else can I do? Will the leaves stay this bad? Should I cut off 1 or 2 of them?

Eine meiner Kaladien hat drei Blätter "verloren". An Trockenheit kann es kaum liegen, denn ich lasse nur die oberste Schicht (3–4 cm) antrocknen; darunter spüre ich noch Feuchtigkeit. Wobei, neue Frage an alle: Die Erde trocknet oben jeweils ab, während sich Feuchtigkeit weiter unten noch vorhanden ist. Ich giesse dann noch nicht. Doch ev. vertrocknen die kleinen Blätter, welche gerade aus den Knollen kommen, welche ja knapp unter der Erde liegen. Wann giesst ihr? Könnt ihr das möglichst genau beschreiben?

I put her in pon 1 week ago, but she already before in a bad mood...

Hi! I have a question: Is my little Alocasia sick, or did I plant it in a pot that's too big (or both?), a week ago? Thanks for your advice and ideas!!
