📌 Note: Alocasia is a sensitive plant. Therefore, you may receive these plants with some leaf imperfections, but these do not affect the plant’s viability. The leaves may show natural imperfections, light scratches, marked edges, creases, fine cracks, or marks caused by handling, transport, or adaptation to the new environment. It is normal for some older leaves to turn yellow or be replaced as the plant acclimatizes.
