Buy Alocasia Zebrina | Zebra Elephants Ears Alocasia zebrina: £24.99 Delivery by Primrose

Overview

The large, arrow-shaped foliage of this impressive house plant is eye-catching, but it's the stems, which are imprinted with zebra-like stripes along their length, that really make it stand out from the crowd. Immediately creating a tropical feel to the room, they are perfect for a steamy bathroom or kitchen. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: These plants love a humid atmosphere, so keep them away from central heating radiators and either stand the pot on a tray of damp pebbles, or mist them regularly with water. Keep the temperature minimum of 16°C, warmer if possible. Water regularly in the summer, reducing through the winter, and feed with a liquid feed in spring/ summer every 3-4 weeks. Dormancy is a natural process, triggered by a reduction in light, cooler temperatures, and drier air and soil mimicking the seasonal changes in the plant's natural environment. If the plant is beginning to enter a dormant period by shedding leaves or discolouring and dying back then reduce watering, light and maintain cooler conditions. The corm or bulb should only be watered lightly when the top inch of soil has become dry. The plant will regrow when warm, bright, moist conditions return.
