I got this monster of an Alocasia at my local nursery, and it was listed just as “Alocasia”. I was wondering if any of y’all had any idea which variety it was? P.S. can y’all believe she was on sale for $35!!!

Could be Sarian or Portodora

I just looked up both, and I think it’s a Sarian! Thank you so much :-)
