Can someone identify what this is? I wanted to guess pink princess but I have a bigger one that just sprouted new leaves that don’t show the same dark undersides.

I have the same one! Some will say Alocasia pink dragon but I believe it’s an Alocasia Nairobi night. They have pointier leaves than pink dragons!

i have the same one, looks identical and is titled nairobi nights - i assumed it was just another name for the pink dragon
