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?

#### SharonE respondió el 2024-02-01

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!

are those white specks I see? it looks like maybe thrips…

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