I found this at Safeway tonight and couldn't resist it! I think it's a philodendron, but it wasn't labeled. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

I think it may be a type of alocasia , philodendrons don’t typically grow like that on the bottom . Let me do some research lol

Regal shield alocasia

Amazing, thank you!!

Looks like an alocasia wentti to me becauseits kinda matchy matchy leaf/vein colors. But it could be the photo. They look fairly similar to RS. If the veining is like a light kinda lime-y coloration on top and back, it's most likely regale shield.

Definitely a philodendron

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-02-08

This is not a philodendron Will

Alocasia wentii. Regal shields had green stem lines on underside of leaves. Wentiis are fully maroon. I’ve added a photo of my regal shield as an example for you 😊
