purpleinopp said:Hi & welcome! Several genera have members referred to as elephant ears. I don't think yours is Colocasia. Compare to Xanthosoma species, and Alocasia species if you don't find a matching Xanthosoma. The features to observe are whether the leaf tip points up or down, though this can be less reliable for a plant in an unusual location, such as inside. Also observe the veins, especially on the back of the leaf, and the way the leaf attaches to its stem. Your leaves attach to the stem at the edge. Some leaves connect to their stems in the middle of the leaf.

Alocasia:

There are quite a few, don't be discouraged if you can't decide more specifically than the genus.
In the meantime, you could add a pic of the back of a leaf and a pic looking straight down at the top of a leaf, if you want to.
