Purchased this plant with a label saying "Alocasia". When I pointed out it wasn't an Alocasia the woman selling it said that it was an imported plant. Colocasias are illegal to import so often they're just labeled Alocasia sp which are a permissible import and the tag is never changed. But wasn't able to find out which Colocasia it is. It's repotted now (as in the photo) and in a 300mm pot because I don't know how big it'll grow or how big a clump it might form. So wondering if anyone out there knows what it is, what its growth habits are, and any particular idiosynchracies it might have that need to be taken care of, thanks.
