I still don’t know what kind of Alocasia this is. Every time I ask AI I get a different answer. Any ideas?

it looks like a juvenile macrorrhiza alocacia. AI sucks.

Could also be alocasia odora, but theyre basically the same thing 😅

I think I have one of those! It came from Lowe’s and its tag said it’s a BATWING ALOCASIA. I named it Lestat.

it really suffered when it first came home and after it was transplanted. He probably lost a dozen large, beautiful leaves before stabilizing. I hope yours will do better.

It’s a really cool plant!
