Hello, I bought this as a mystery corm. I don't have many alocasia but I would love to know. Will it be a small or large alocasia? Thank you for your help

Sorry i have no clue but i just want to say that's a beautiful plant.. I've only had one Alocasia in my life and i killed it so I've never tried again.

Thank you, it has turned out to be very cute. I only have ever been successful with alocasia in Pon ☺️

you have a beautiful plant there! this looks a little like my Odora Variegata... which is big, lol!! heres a pic of mine 🌱  
tho i am now looking at the differences/similarities, and the leaves on yours look lighter, but maybe theyre still young and havent fully darkened?? or theyre highly variegated? the patterns also look slightly different..  
looking through google results makes me think it is in fact an odora variagata though!

That is a beautiful plant! 😍 I was thinking that as one of the possibilities or a gageana aurea maybe? I really didn't know what to expect when started sprouting up. I was hoping for a jewel alocasia because I'm not sure where to put such a large beauty like yours.

thank you!! gageana aurea also looks fitting! its hard for me to tell the difference honestly, so i google it lol. i am also now wondering if i got my ID wrong 😂

I was googling and I bet it's hard to tell the difference unless they are right next to each other.
