Any on ever hear of a Mickey Mouse plant. I just came across one and don’t know anything about it. All comments appreciated I know it’s an Alocasia but dang I can’t find many people who have one? Did I mess up by buying this guy? Oh my goodness he wasn’t cheap.

Back during Covid one of my local greenhouses was trying to sell them for $100 and they were a bit smaller even then yours it looks like. I’ve seen them a lot more lately and a LOT more reasonably priced thankfully ☺️ I haven’t taken the plunge to buy one yet, but I probably will eventually lol

But since it’s an alocasia, I assume it’ll be a tad fussy. They don’t like to dry out, but they also don’t like to stay soggy. So it can be tricky at first to find the sweet spot. If it does happen to drop leaves, try not to panic. They can comeback from their bulb after they throw a tantrum lol
