The Alocasia zebrina Tiger has arrow shaped leaves and a distinctive, tiger-striped stem. The leaves have a wonderfully deep, glossy texture.
Horty Hints
Beware the burn! Avoid placing your Alocasia in direct sunlight as this can cause the leaves to scorch.
Hibernating, hun? Alocasia undergo a period of dormancy during the winter, where leaves will drop and the plant might die back altogether. Do not bin the plant, as it will return in spring if kept warm and moist.
Location, location, location! Kitchens and bathrooms are the ideal spot for Alocasia as they will love the raised humidity levels.
