# Hi guys! So this is my first Alocasia, and I was having trouble…

_Posted by Alysia 🪴 on 2023-08-10_

Hi guys! So this is my first Alocasia, and I was having trouble identifying exactly which kind it is! Definitely did NOT realize how many variations there are! Can anyone help me please?

I was kind of thinking that it’s a pink dragon due to the shape of the leaf??

Thanks in advance!! 🤍

If that’s from Trader Joe’s it might be a pink dragon.
