Purchased a young anthurium clarinervium from home depot and there's a third plant in there who is definitely not like the others. I would be super grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction for what it is so i can give it the best environment once these guys get freed from their pot

    It’s an alocasia. Not too sure which one though. Possibly melo.

    immature alocasia bisma or sinuata is my guess. hard to tell at this point. the thing that i’ve experienced with alocasia is if you plant them too deep they will die. the petioles must be above soil which can be hard to achieve with their bulby form. a perlite soil with a bit of sphagnum topper would be my best recommendation to keep this guy from rotting at this size. and BRIGHT bright light. alocasia needs a lot of energy to keep the leaves from cycling aka dying as they grow
