Alocasia zebrina, also known as Alocasia zebra plant or Elephant Ear Zebra, is famous for its bold, tiger-striped stems and large arrow-shaped leaves. Native to the Philippines, this tropical statement plant brings exotic energy to any indoor space with its striking pattern and sculptural silhouette. In its large size, it's a true showstopper—perfect for corners that need drama and vertical interest.
🌿 What Makes It Special
Distinctive Stems: Bold zebra-striped petioles in yellow and dark brown/black.
Leaf Shape: Broad, pointed foliage held high on slender stems.
Size: This large version can reach up to 100–120 cm tall indoors with the right care.
🪴 Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light keeps growth strong and prevents legginess.
Watering: Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil dries. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage.
Humidity: Prefers 50–70% humidity. Mist regularly or use a humidifier in drier rooms.
Soil: Use a well-draining, loose mix—coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite work well.
Feeding: Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
⚠️ Troubleshooting Tips
Yellowing Leaves: Common with overwatering. Let soil dry and check drainage.
Droopy Growth: May signal shock from repotting or cold exposure. Keep conditions stable.
Brown Leaf Edges: Usually due to low humidity or inconsistent watering.
