I was recently given two mystery baby alocasias and I cannot seem to figure out what they may be in the slightest. Both have extremely dark leaves and different stems.  
I know they are probably too small to identify but if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! Looks like a dark elephant ear plant :3

They are both SO dark! Yet have different stems and are completely different sizes

Maybe alocasia infernalis. It’ll be cool to see how they develop!

I’m stumped on them both 😂

I’ve been there before too! But I love noticing all the unique traits as a plant grows until I can finally match it to the right name ☺️

I got two mystery ones, two black velvets, two zebrinas, a pink dragon and a dragon scale nub all cooking and it’s fascinating what them all grow at different rates in their own ways 🥰😊

If the leaves stay skinnier possibly a pink dragon
