# Could I please get some help here? I have no clue what this plant is…

_Posted by Little greenie 🐠 on 2025-07-31_

Could I please get some help here? I have no clue what this plant is I got it at Home Depot in the tropical section about a week or two ago and it wasn’t labeled so I’m not sure how to care for it. It’s a big plant at least 4 ft and a front leaf just started dropping. Any tips or info would be appreciated! Thank you! 😊

Looks to be a colocasia of some sort commonly known as elephant ear plant. They LOVE water. Depending on how recently it was watered that is likely why a leaf is drooping. Look them up relatively easy to care for just demanding on the water side of things.

I think Molly is correct. With Alocasia regal shield

I agree

It looks like an Alocasia Regal shield to me.

I would agree, and mine is a heavy feeder.
