    Looks like an Alocasia Jacklyn. They like an airy chunky well draining soil to allow their roots to breath but they don’t like to dry out. Personally I struggled with mine in well draining soil so I loved her to semi hydro using lecca balls and since then she’s doubled in size and is thriving. Alocasias are a bit touchy but I’ve seemed to have cracked the code since moving to semi hydro. I’ll include pictures of when I got mine and now.

      I do, these past weeks I’ve been transitioning all my plants to lecca, my African violets are loving it in particular. And watering is now a breeze, no guesswork or anything just empty reservoir tell me to top it up. The only plants I won’t be moving is my orchids because their roots tell me when to water. And the fact that it limits bugs and I can sterilise the lecca and reuse it will save my money down the line. So all I see is a win win really ☺️.

    but basically alocasia need moist soil but dont overwater and depending on the type the light/humidity will vary its kind if experimenting i had to do that with 2 of my alocasias (a bit burnt but thriving) so yknow

    I unalived 3 Jacklyn’s before I transferred ALL my alocasia to pon and self watering pots. I’ve got 4(?) alocasia and they are thriving.
