I’ve had this Alocasia pink dragon for many months now and this leaf still hasn’t darkened, should I be concerned?

i have a leaf in my dragon scale that also isn’t darkening as fast, i THINK it’s because it’s a smaller offshoot of the main plant, in my case. i believe it’s slow growth and not indicative of disease or pests.
