Any guesses on this mystery Alocasia I picked up today? I gave it a desperately needed repot

    That is a gorgeous shade of green, reminds me of a neon pothos!

      Unfortunately I don’t think it’s supposed to be this shade of green haha it’s looking really sad at the moment, at the store the soil was bone dry and it was in this 🤣

    Maybe a platinum? I have one that looks very similar thought darker green

      Honestly the leaf shape is dead on, and the newest leaf (the tiny one in the last pic) is much darker than the rest. What’s the texture of that one like? This one’s leaves are pretty thin and papery with a faint texture. Although that could change as its health improves.

    My leaves are pretty thick. The new one that’s a few days old is already pretty thick though thinner than the older ones.

      The newest leaf is slightly thicker than the others, but nothing like my dragon scales as far as texture goes. More like my Polly, thin and almost leathery but also papery🤣 I’m dying to see a healthy leaf on it to get a better idea.

    possibly a juvenile 'ivory coast'. if you look it up, google will tell you the stems are pink, but i have seen them with petioles of a wide variety of colors and similar patterns as yours

      Wow it does look very similar, almost spot on! It was in poor lighting (and SO dry) which I think is why it’s so leggy and discolored I’ll be keeping an eye on the stems for some pink for sure now! I’m also dying for it to push a leaf to get a better idea of what they’re supposed to look like 🤣
