Growing in my monstera randomly. Any idea what it is??  
ETA I know it’s an alocasia. Just wondering what kind.

Looks like an Alocasia to me. Have you reused the soil?

Wondering what kind of Alocasia. I think I did. But it doesn’t look like any I’ve had.

It would help if you mentioned what type of alocasias you own. If that was one of mine, it could be an amazonica, pink dragon, Mandalay or Nairobi night. But it being the first leaf and not knowing what you have, makes it nearly impossible to accurately identify 🌱

Black velvet, Jacklyn and black magic I believe is all I’ve had.
