I’m having trouble identifying this plant. I can’t tell if it’s a colocasia esculenta or an alocasia macrorrhizos. The leaves kinda point upwards so I’m leaning towards alocasia

I see you never got a response but I agree with your assessment. Based on the directions of the leaves, this is definitely an alocasia plant.

Looks similar to my alocasia low rider
