Product information

Description

Alocasia zebrina, also known as the Tiger Alocasia, is a striking tropical plant known for its dramatic foliage and unique appearance. The leaves are large, arrow-shaped, and deep green with prominent white veins. Its most distinctive feature is its stems, which resemble tiger stripes in shades of brown and yellow, giving it the “tiger” look. Care Requirements: Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (65°F-80°F or 18°C-27°C). Humidity: Enjoys high humidity and benefits from regular misting or a humidifier. Alocasia zebrina is a bit more demanding in care but makes a stunning addition to any space with its bold, exotic look. It is toxic to pets, so caution is needed.

Your plant's pot should have holes in the bottom so it is able to drain water easily.

If reusing a pot that had other plants in it, it is recommended you wash the pot, killing any mould or bacteria

Do not over water your plant as the roots will rot.

Most plants need to be kept by a good source of natural light.

Fertiliser

You should fertilise your plant every two months. You can use all purpose fertiliser.

Any dead or fallen leaves should be removed to prevent bacteria and mould. Dead branches should also be removed.
