I bought this Allocasia two years ago and it's had a rough life at my house. It bloomed a couple of months after I bought it and then came down with a severe case of spider mites that we battled for months. I finally got rid of them by not watering the plant and letting it go dormant. The new leaves looked fine for a couple of months but now they are getting necrotic spots all over. I have checked very carefully for bugs and can't find any evidence of the usual suspects (spider mites, mealys, aphids, whiteflies, etc.) The plant is next to an east facing window and gets medium light levels; it's watered about once a week; the leaves have never been sprayed with chemicals or water. Any idea what could be causing this? I think this poor plant just doesn't like my house :(
