What time of plant is this? I think it might be an alocasia but I’m not sure.

If you pull the nursery pot out it could say on there. It looks like an alocasia but I can’t remember which one it reminds me of

If you buy that I’d plan on repotting it asap that soil looks a little brutal

I did buy it and the nursery pot doesn’t say!

I used the plant scan feature on the app for an alocasia I just bought at Trader Joe’s. It was accurate.

Looks like an Ivory Coast alocasia
