Small potted Alocasias naturally maintain few leaves at a time—often just 3–4. As a new leaf emerges, an older one yellows and dies. This is normal, not a problem.
You can slightly increase leaf count by maximizing light: provide up to 4 hours of direct sun daily (e.g., east or west window). Beyond that, the plant’s genetics and pot size limit foliage density.
No fertilizer or special treatment will force more leaves. Accept its natural habit and enjoy the dramatic foliage it does produce.
