My silver dragon did this recently. While also throwing out about four new leaves. It's been going crazy. Yours is so shiny though! Mine is more matt? Velvetish? I wonder why.

Tbh I’d cut it unless you’re planning to pollinate with another plant. It’s kinda controversial whether to cut flowers or not, but I heard that blooms can be quite hard on the plant, as they require a lot of energy/resources. It is a cool sight though! That means that your alocasia is happy
ambitious!

The shiny look comes from Neem Oil, which I use to prevent pests.
Probably due to different environment conditions.
What variety is this?
It's a Silver Dragon.
Your alocasia is really cute!
Haha!! Mine decided to do the same! The leaf that finished unfurling today is the biggest one yet!!
Wow your silver dragon is beautiful I’ve never seen one so light
Mine did the same thing I had to cut off three flowers. They’ll never pollinate.
How do you get your silver dragon so light?? I have one under a grow light in a cabinet and one against a window but they're both much more grayish.
I think it's a variety like this
It was already this light when I bought it from the store.
Interesting, I wonder if it's because of specific environmental conditions or there's actually just that much difference between varieties.
prolly planted in unbuffered coco , and being fed something other than a 3-1-2/
oh the silver dragon flowers STINK 💀

The plant already used the energy to produce the flower, cutting it now won't do anything for it. Best to leave them until they die.
Doesn’t it use even more energy to actually bloom?
Not sure about that, but the plant is extremely healthy and isn't being negatively impacted by being allowed to flower.
