Alocasia Zebrina is stunning tropical vegetation and serves as exotic ornamental beauty indoors and outdoors. Unlike other Alocasias, the highlight of the plant is not the foliage but the striking zebra-like striped stems or petioles. Zebrina Alocasia features the iconic striped petioles that every plant lover is so in love with these days.

The prominent petioles are striped green and white, growing large arrow-shaped leaves at the tips. The outlandish petioles manifest this large, leafed plant as an eye-catching and tremendous, extravagant piece. Zebrina’s large leaves and unique zebra striped petioles have earned this Alocasia many names, such as Zebra Alocasia or Elephant ear Zebrina and a local name Gabing tigre in Tagalog.

The Alocasia Zebrina is a tropical ornamental plant in the family Araceae. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, specifically the islands of Luzon, Samar, Mindanao, Biliran, and Alabat in the Philippines.

The trick for growing Alocasia zebrina is to provide them with a well-draining potting mix, don’t let them sit in water; water when the soil dries out and give them perfect light.
