the stems and leaves are much different in this picture compared to the picture they provided

### Ava commented on 2024-10-30

i know is this other comment it says philodendron but i’m pretty sure that’s an alocasia of some kind

### Green Witch commented on 2024-10-30

Maybe this one?

There are quite a few it could be.. you could google it and look at this website, I was scrolling through and thought it could be purple umbrella, Malaysian monster, giant toro, green velvet, corazon, brina, but you’d have to read and examine your plant to tell, I can’t see yours or feel it to see if it matches their descriptions, but I think the purple umbrella sounded most like the picture.

Thank you so much! Everyone!

looks like an alocasia ‘green unicorn’ potentially. i’d have to look more to make sure though
