I just got this stunning, enormous Alocasia! The previous owner wasn’t sure whether it’s a ‘Dawn’ or a ‘Batik,’ and the plant ID apps haven’t been much help. Can anyone tell me which one it is?

      I used at least seven different apps and googled for an hour lol. Several of the scanning apps said Macrorrhiza Variegated. I do not believe that to be correct though because the leaves do not point upwards like a Macrorrhiza is suppose to. I believe it to be one of the two I mentioned, I’m just not sure which as they look very similar. I also thought the variegation pattern was slightly off from the Batik, so I’m guessing it’s likely a Dawn.

    Looking at the plant listed, one of its leaves has same distinct darker color like yours. Only difference is yours is not as white as the one I listed below. Poss not macrorrhiza then as not pointing up. There’s just so many versions, ever way I don’t expected there is a lot of difference in light and water requirements Dwarf Elephant Ear 'Albovariegata' Alocasia gageana 'Albovariegata'
