Dear All,
Can anyone identify this houseplant?

It was bought from a local supermarket (the Co-op) which labelled it
just "Foliage Ceramic"! Its leaves have a V-shaped rear notch a
little like the Arrow Head plant (Sagittaria) but none of the pictures
of species of Arrow Head plants I found looked like it. Since being
bought a week ago two of its leaves are dying so any tips on care and
cultivation would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ps. The email address in the header is just a spam-trap.
Alocasia amazonica Polly. Something 'mask' is an additional name, I think.
