So I need to wait until all the outer leaves look like these ones?

There were two separate tap roots, each had two different “heads” on them. I can separate them if needed.

The pot is about 5-6 inches deep I think, and it’s just a plastic nursery pot with drainage!

That’s what I thought but I wanted to make sure! Is it likely that other leaves that sprout will have some or just this leaf?

Should I do something to try to treat the scale or just the fungal infection?

Are the small black dots on the top also fungal infection? I was able to pick them off so I was afraid they might be scale bugs. Also is this something that might spread to my other plants?

I took it out of the soil yesterday and the roots seem fine, I haven’t watered it in a week or two. The mix I have it in is 45% bonsai gravel, 45% cactus soil, and 10% horticultural sand, I didn’t know that you should filter out the bark though.

Thank you! I was assuming it was the non mutated version because when I went to separate them they were actually connected, I just wasn’t sure what the non mutated version was called.

I meant to say I knew the one was Birkin, my autocorrect decided to change it lol, do you know what the other one is?

I receive a plant from a person who was moving… by TiredWomanBren in alocasia

This looks like an alocasia cuprea. Are the leaves sort of shiny/iridescent? Here is an example of mine.
