Alocasia Zebrina is a striking tropical houseplant known for its large, arrow-shaped green leaves and bold zebra-like striped stems. Its upright growth and dramatic foliage make it a standout plant for plant stands, bright rooms, and statement plant displays.
The proper botanical name is Alocasia zebrina.
Alocasia Zebrina does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter filtered light helps support stronger growth and larger leaves. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and allow water to drain. Alocasia prefer consistent moisture, but they do not like sitting in wet soil, so avoid watering too frequently.
Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix and a pot with drainage. A mix with houseplant soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well.
Alocasia Zebrina prefers warm temperatures and higher humidity. Higher humidity can help reduce crispy leaf edges and support healthy growth. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.
This plant may drop older leaves when conditions change, especially after shipping, repotting, or changes in light and humidity. This is common with Alocasia and does not always mean the plant is unhealthy, as long as the roots are healthy and new growth continues.
Alocasia plants are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them away from cats, dogs, and small children.
