Alocasia leaves All Have Dripping Water from Their leaves
When your Alocasia Macrorrhiza Variegata is dripping water from its leaves, it means it's slightly overwatered and it's trying to get rid of the excess water by sweating it off. The excess water escapes from tiny pores in the leaf. This is normal and no reason for concern, your plant is fine. Be careful of your wooden antiques underneath your plant though, as the water is slightly acidic and will make circles in the wood that don't go away.Try Not to Become Attached to a Particular Leaf
Try not to become attached to a particular leaf as they don't tend to last as long as leaves on other tropical plants. Depending on the specific species, you'll get maybe a few months out of your Alocasia leaves. But! They're faster growers, so as quick as they are to drop a leaf, they're as fast to grow new ones, and will reward you with many beautiful leaves during their life.
