I've had this alocasia for a while but i don't think planta identified it correctly. Any thoughts? And the pink color is from my grow light not the plant.

Pink Dragon I believe :)

I know the pink is from the light and not the plant - but if the stems are naturally a pink color then I believe this is a pink dragon

What color is the stem. Alocasia id is kind of a B\* with all the crosses lately 😆

Looks very similar to my Ivory Coast, it might just be it as their leafs are flatter than the pink dragon

Here is a picture of the stems!

Yea,that's pink Dragon. It's to round-y to be an ivory coast. But they are essentially the same plant. Just ones patented. But ivory coast are pointy, not round.
