    I think it might be a Colocasia Elephant Ear, not an Alocasia.

      If the back is like a burgundy ,then I think it’s safe to say it’s a Mayan mask alocasia. Mine grows like crazy and each leaf just keeps getting bigger!

      Sorry! Couldn’t really make out the color. But if you look up Mayan mask online I think they look identical! The curvy leaves really set it for me.

      That soil looks way to dense for Alocasia/Colocasia. They like chunky airy aroid mix to be able to breathe oxygen between waterings. Try changing soil to this or Pon and you will stop losing leaves.
