ALOCASIA ZEBRINA

Alocasia Zebrina is a tropical plant from the area of ​​Southeast Asia that is well domesticated, and we can find it in almost every garden center. It is specific for its large leaves, a bit like a heart, characteristic of other Alocasia. What makes it different and special is its stalk interspersed with stripes, which gives it a somewhat exotic look, hence the name - zebra.

CARE AND BREEDING

Alocasia Zebrina loves bright and warm rooms, but by no means place it too close to a window and direct sunlight. It loves moisture, but you also need to be careful not to water it too much. The best method is to immerse the plant in a bowl of water once a week to soak up as much water as it really needs. Alocasia Zebrina also needs regular feeding, every two weeks from spring to winter. What is specific about this plant is that it will give you a sign when a new leaf is about to come out and so that one starts to die off. Thus the plant makes room for new stems. The plant will show you that it is good if it grows large and always has more than four stems.
