I got the mother plant at Walmart a couple months ago, but I can not decide what species of alocasia this is! This is a pup, any opinions are appreciated 😅

You got a picture of the mother plant?

The whole plant is growing in all different directions so I figured a pic of a single leaf would be more helpful 😅

Try looking up an Alocasia cucullata and see if that’s looking like yours 😂

This is a good guess!

Alocasia pups are very non-distinct and make it impossible to tell specifically what it is. Any baby plants can be like that really
