Does anyone know what plant this is? I thought it was part of the alocasia family and i took a few cuttings from outside and tried to keep them in some water inside and they’re dying and not growing roots. can it not grow inside?

It’s Italian Arum. It’s a lily that is poisonous!☠️ All parts of it is poisonous. Eating it is fatal. Causes skin irritations if touched. Keep away from pets. Wear gloves and safely dispose of it. It’s an invasive plant.
