Can anyone tell me what kind of plant this is? I think it’s an alocasia but I’m not sure what kind. I got it at my local Lowe’s but it didn’t have a tag.

I looked it up, and it looks to be a White Butterfly Arrowhead plant, otherwise known as a Syngonium Podophyllum. I don't know for sure, but all the search results showed this, and I really do hope this helps 😊

I have a white butterfly. The leaves are much lighter than this, but it might be an arrowhead plant

I definitely think it’s an alocasia, not a syngonium, because syngoniums don’t usually look much like that besides the leaf shape

#### Destinie Merwin replied on 2024-08-03

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. I have a syngonium and it doesn’t have leaves like that

yea, arrowhead looks like it, I dont know much of these types of plants, i mostly just have succulents and cacti?

#### Riley replied on 2024-08-03

I know the leaf shape is the same, but the leaves of syngoniums tend to be smaller, thinner, flimsier, less glossy, and have different looking veins than the plant in the picture. The stems and base also look different.
