Alocasia Zebrina
The plant, by the plant
Check out the legs on me! I'm the Alocasia Zebrina - the only zebra you'll meet with striped stems, arrow-shaped leaves and absolutely zero interest in grass. In the wild I'm so treasured that poaching me from Philippine forests carries actual prison time. Luckily, mine were grown the legal way: patiently, in a nursery.
Give me bright, indirect light and small, regular sips - hydrate, don't drown. I'll do the rest.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 50-80cm tall
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, approx 70-130cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: striped, not snackable - keep me out of reach.
Glam up my leaves with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine and frame those famous stems in a Jardin Terrazzo Pot in Black.

Care tips
Generally easy but loves the extra attention. Secret to success is not to over-water the plant. Remember to trim yellowing lower leaves to encourage new growth and in winter this indoor plant may become dormant.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
