I looked at some photos of both and I do think it’s a arrowhead plant but I might be wrong

### Magz commented on 2025-08-11

I think the stem suggests alocasia. But 🤷‍♀️

### PlantMamaS commented on 2025-08-11

to me looks like it could possibly be an alocasia mystic, this is exactly what my corms look like when they first sprout

Yeah I have a few alocasia and this one looks like it’s close to them I think it must be just a little too young to tell which of the green variety it is.
