hi everyone! i have what i believe to be an alocasia regal shields. when i bought it 3 weeks ago, it was labeled as an elephant ear plant (which can apply to many different types) the first pic is shortly after i purchased the plant and repotted her. i have since cut off two leaves, one of which was drooping and the other was damaged and beginning to droop. i did this to hopefully promote new growth. also, i removed 10+ corms when i repotted her i noticed a few days ago a new leaf was growing. when i checked on her today, i noticed that this may actually be a flower? i’ve never had one of my foliage plants flower so i’m unfamiliar if 1. this IS a flower and 2. if i should let it flower i’ve seen conflicting things online. some people say that this is a sign the plant is happy and healthy, but others are saying that a plant will flower instead of putting out new leaves if it thinks it’s going to die for context, i live in NE FL. it sits in front of my apartment which is west facing, gets plenty of indirect to direct sunlight, and is also covered by a small roof. i sometimes move her in front of the roof when i know it’s going to rain that day.
