    It’s a flower. After it’s spent, they flop, and you can cut it off. The leaf dripping water is normal after watering. There’s a term for it, that I can’t recall right now.

    Those are flowers! The one that’s hanging is a little strange. It looks like the spathe and spadix have expired, so I expect that the rest of it will too, soon. You can cut it off if you like.

    Alocasia have a process called guttation by which they expel excess water from their roots through their leaves. It’s normal, but it can be a sign that the soil is too wet, which could quickly lead to root rot. Alocasia love chunky soil that retains only a bit of moisture.
