# Impulse bought this Baroque Sword from a Black Friday sale... I…

_Posted by Amy on 2024-12-22_

Impulse bought this Baroque Sword from a Black Friday sale... I thought the leaf was just so interesting! As is usually the case with alocasias I guess, haha. It was looking pretty sad and only had one leaf. Just got back from a one week vacation and this new leaf appeared out of nowhere 🤩 my other elephant ear alocasia just put out a fresh leaf as well. I was scared to try alocasias but maybe I can do this?! Haha

Baroque swords are amazing! I bought one about a year ago which also had just one leaf. This is her now!
