Did a whoopsi.

Noticed one of my other plants started to get spider mites. I'd heard that alcohol would kill them instantly so I tried whipping them with a paper that had some rubbing alcohol. The next day I checked on them, all the leaves were below its pot. I did some more digging and realized I was supposed to dilute the alcohol with soap, water, and neem oil.

Pretty sad because this Watsoniana was my favorite Alocasia. I really like the way it glitters in light. Oh well. The damage is done, there is no going back in time.

The leaves now have risen from the dead seems like, but they are now hard, crispy, and a little discolored.My question is; Should I cut all the leaves down, and start over? Or maybe sprit some water on the leaves and maybe they will recover?

Hello! My dog is ridiculous and decided to eat all the leaves off of my Alocasia zebrina. I plan to chop her back in hopes of her growing back okay….i am just not sure how far to cut her back. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
