Description

The Alocasia Zebrina, also known as the Zebra Plant or Elephant Ear, is a tropical beauty that instantly grabs attention. Its long, slender stems are adorned with a unique black-and-white pattern reminiscent of a zebra โ€” hence the name. Atop those striking stems sit large, heart-shaped leaves that give off an elegant, almost futuristic vibe.

Originally from the rainforests of Southeast Asia, this plant is used to warm, humid conditions. Indoors, it grows into a true showstopper, reaching up to 150 cm in height. The combination of its striped stems and lush foliage makes it a favorite in modern interiors, urban jungles, and minimalist settings.

The Zebrina is not just an aesthetic statement, but also a plant with personality. Itโ€™s sensitive to its environment and clearly communicates when itโ€™s not happy โ€” a true diva, but one youโ€™ll love to care for. Give it the right spot and attention, and it will reward you with vigorous growth and a unique presence.

Care tips

Alocasia Zebrina loves plenty of light, but not direct sunlight. Place it near a south- or west-facing window with a light filter like a sheer curtain. Too much sun can scorch its leaves, while too little light leads to elongated stems. Rotate it regularly, as it grows toward the light and may otherwise become lopsided.

As for watering: it has moderate needs but is sensitive to soggy roots. Let the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. Its thick stems store moisture, so itโ€™s better to water more frequently in small amounts than to give a big splash all at once. A handy trick: lift the pot โ€” if it feels light, itโ€™s time to water.

Zebrina thrives in high humidity. Mist it weekly with lime-free water or place it near a humidifier. During the growing season, feed it monthly with a tropical plant fertilizer. Note: itโ€™s mildly toxic to pets, so keep it out of reach of curious noses. With the right care, it will grow into a majestic plant that enriches any space.

Alocasia plant

Alocasia: krachtig en karaktervol

De Alocasia is een plantensoort met opvallende bladeren โ€” van hartvormig tot puntig en gestructureerd. Sommige soorten doen denken aan olifantsoren, vandaar de bijnaam. Andere hebben juist een meer uitgesproken nerfpatroon of metallic glans. Ze houdt van licht en een beetje vocht, en groeit snel als ze zich thuis voelt. Deze plant heeft een krachtige uitstraling en past goed in ruime, lichte interieurs. Alocasia is een echte groeier โ€” soms zelfs met nieuwe babyplantjes aan de voet. Bij Floraholic vind je Alocasiaโ€™s die niet alleen mooi zijn, maar ook sterk en gezond. Een plant met presence en flair.
