I am wondering about my Alocasia elephant ear. It has holes fenestrations. Is that normal? Only in the later mature leaves.

    That’s odd 🤔 I haven’t heard of fenestration in alocasia. Did it have those holes when the leaf first unfurled?

      Yes. They have very smooth edges too. Not eaten or torn.

      Huh, well I don’t know, but that’s very interesting. Maybe a unique mutation!

      I checked diligently and sprayed but did not see any insects.
