Alocasia Zebrina

  • Product Info

    Make a bold statement with Alocasia zebrina, the eye-catching elephant ear famous for its fashion-forward style. While its large, glossy, arrow-shaped green leaves are beautiful, the real showstoppers are its strikingly patterned stems. Adorned with a fierce, contrasting zebra-print design of cream and dark green bands, this Philippine rainforest native brings instant architectural flair and a sophisticated, wild aesthetic to any bright interior space.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    This plant loves bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant stem patterns. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves, but keep it out of low-light corners to prevent the stems from stretching and flopping.

    Water:
    Water thoroughly once the top few centimeters of soil dry out, keeping the medium evenly moist but never soggy. Cut back sharply in winter, and consider using filtered water to protect its sensitive root system.

    Soil:
    To prevent root rot, use a loose, well-draining, and highly aerated aroid potting mix. A blend rich in orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir will provide the perfect balance of oxygen and moisture.

    Tips:
    Provide high humidity and keep the plant in a warm room above 15°C, away from cold drafts. Rotate the pot a quarter-turn every week to ensure the stems grow perfectly straight toward the light.
