# I saved this little guy from my first alocasia that I had that sadly…

_Posted by Mo on 2025-04-04_

I saved this little guy from my first alocasia that I had that sadly died because I didn’t know how to take care of it properly but since become obsessed with them and have read up a ton on them and now own like 5 different varieties.  
For the life of me I cannot remember what kind this one is called and the app thinks it’s a rubber plant. If anyone can help me figure out what it is would be greatly appreciated!

Alocasia Zebrina mayhaps from the way the stem is spotted

It almost looks like an alocasia pink dragon
