The app should be able to tell you exactly what you kind it is.

### Buckolena commented on 2026-10-17

I don’t if it worked correctly but with that picture you provided, the Planta app on my phone said that it is a “batwing alocasia, alocasia nycteris”.

#### Ressy replied on 2026-10-17

Yes that’s the same thing I got when I ran it in the app ..I’m just not sure bout that

#### Buckolena replied on 2026-10-18

I can completely understand. I’m not familiar with enough house plants to know for sure if that is correct or not. Sorry!

It looks like a kind of colocasia
