What importer do you buy from?

I've used a few. These are from NewYearGarden in Thailand

My friend has 1 and it was looking pretty dead and a few days ago it just like shot up 2 new leaves and blew everyone's mind.

Not surprising. You can see the dead leaves at the base here. I had put it in way to shallow media though, and had been ignoring repotting them.

I like the black stems

If you like black stems, I got the plant for you! Alocasia Dark Star
