I thought the Alocasia Zebrina died last year from pests. I had placed it in area near the other ailing plants when it had a couple leaves left. Yesterday, I noticed a new plant growing from the pot which was covered in lightly rooted Callisia Repens ‘Gold Form’ runners! Some soil was removed, probably by squirrels digging for food. Fortunately, they didn’t dig out the last corm. The question is whether to resurrect this from the graveyard list or consider it a new plant. 🤔🤨
