Can someone help me identify this? I know it’s an Alocasia but that’s it. 😅

    It could possibly be a younger alocasia metalhead, I have one and it is the exact same foliage color and shape with its smaller leaves, the underside of the leaves are purple, they do get very big though. You might have more luck taking it to a local plant store for identification

    It probably is the metalhead or purple passion variety then, theyre easy to care for but they do get pretty big

      I have a close up leaf of my metalhead, the veins are darker but it could be due to outdoor lighting

      Yeah looking at pictures of the purple passion I think mine is a metal head

    I know it’s a type of Elephant Ear. The app has not specifically identified it. Know it is easy to propagate. I love it.
