Alocasia Zebrina
Exciting green plant with large and deep glossy green leaves on characteristic tall zebra-patterned stems. Alocasia is native to Asian tropical forests and thus loves humidity and rich soil.
Note: Alocasia leaves sweat and secrete small droplets by the water accumulating in the plant and causing a slight overpressure in the root. This pushes the water out as small drops from the leaves. This is a sign of health for the plant, but the drops leave stains on furniture and floors where it stands.
Size: 14cm nursery pot
