So beautiful! On my wishlist. These ones get big yes? I think that’s why i havn’t gotten, since they would need to be outside since so big and its too cold (Alocasia’s go dormant at 55° or under) in the winter here (LA).

When I first saw your pic it reminded me of that mosaic virus in plants. Both beautiful but virus deadly!  
Not saying it is, just reminiscent. 😜

Yes these can get big, They are pretty hard to keep pests away from but I think I'm starting to get a handle on the pharaoh masks
