Question! :-) I'm New here to Alocasias. Circled in yellow— Are these going to be flowers or leaves. If flowers I need to cut them correct? My goal is to promote leaf growth. Thank you!

Yes, flowers. I always cut them off to promote new leaf growth focus.

Thank you! Cutting them now!

Definitely flowers, they do take energy from the plant so it’s up to you if you’d like to cut.

Thank you! Off with their heads :-)
