Hi! I have this Alocasia that recently pushed out this new leaf.

I’m wondering if this is indeed an Alocasia ‘Maxkowskii’? The plant is very young, but it seems like the leaves are more elongated?

Thanks :)

i agree in thinking it might be a different variety, not sure which one tho. the leaves are a lot lighter and look shiny compared to the velvety 'Maxkowskii'. a pic of some of the other leaves would help a ton, as well :)

Yea maxkowskii have a more velvety look. I posted on your other post, it looks closer to longiloba. Mayan mask is even closer, but they have more bumpy edges
