Hmm interesting! I scanned it on PictureThis and it came up as a Colocasia rather than Alocasia. But I’m not sure if that’s accurate

No problem! Yeah I see plants completely mislabeled at stores all the time 😭 it’s frustrating

Is it an Alocasia wentii? They’re also called New Guinea Shield. It looks similar to those to me!

Hard to tell from the lighting but maybe dragon scale?
