Alocasia Zebrina

Alocasia Zebrina is a striking tropical plant recognised for its large, arrow-shaped leaves and unique, zebra-like patterned stems. The glossy green foliage contrasts dramatically with the slim, striped stalks, giving it an architectural and exotic look. Compact yet bold, this variety of Alocasia grows upright and adds a distinctive, modern touch to interior spaces. 

☀️- Make sure you place Alocasia near a window or in a very bright room, however avoid the direct sunlight. Low light conditions will quickly deteriorate your plant

💧- Alocasia’s root system has tuberous rhizomes and they store water for a while. Make sure you allow your plant to dry out between watering, cutting back over winter. Just don’t allow the soil to go crispy dry, but also never waterlogged.

🌡️- Keep warm as Alocasias are tropical plants, ideally above 18°C all year around. In colder rooms over winter they might go dormant so keep up the warmth and raise humidity around them.

🪴- Once roots are coming out of the pot, change the soil to a rich, but well draining soil mix. Some perlite and vermiculite mixed in the soil will not go amiss.

🐾- Toxic to pets.
