I read it’s rare that an elephant alocasia will flower and mine is about to. I’m torn between cutting it or letting it bloom!what do you all think?

I didn’t have this kind but I do have a regal shield that flowers each year. I always cut them off because they smell like cat urine.

🤢 I would wait to see what it does, personally. But if it’s smelly I’d lop it off!

Please don't cut until it's in full bloom even if it smells 😳 this is part of an alocasia's cycle and it'll use up a ton of energy trying to complete it's flower cycle if you cut it too early (aka just continuing to send out flowers instead of making new leaves) It needs to flower fully in order to stay healthy
