Description

elephant ear plant zebrina Alocasia zebrinaAlocasia zebrina Alocasia zebrina is a Philippine species known for pale green petioles marked with irregular dark striping. The leaves are glossy, green and narrow sagittate, but the striped petioles are the plants most distinctive feature. Mature plants grow upright from a corm and can become tall indoors when light, warmth and root space are steady. The leaf blades are smooth and arrow shaped, with pointed front lobes and long tapering rear lobes.

Alocasia zebrina


Alocasia zebrina is a Philippine species known for pale green petioles marked with irregular dark striping. The leaves are glossy, green and narrow-sagittate, but the striped petioles are the plant’s most distinctive feature. Mature plants grow upright from a corm and can become tall indoors when light, warmth and root space are steady.

The leaf blades are smooth and arrow-shaped, with pointed front lobes and long tapering rear lobes. New leaves emerge as folded spears, rise on their petioles, then open into glossy green blades. This growth pattern means the plant often gains height before it gains width. The corm sits at the base of the plant and produces both roots and new shoots; mature plants can also form offsets or small corms around the base.


Features of Alocasia zebrina


  • Leaf shape: glossy narrow sagittate leaves with long rear lobes.
  • Petioles: pale green stems with dark brown to dark green irregular striping.
  • Growth habit: upright corm-based growth with long petioles.
  • Indoor scale: medium to tall once established, depending on light, warmth and root volume.
  • Origin: the Philippines, where the species grows in warm rainforest conditions.

Care for Alocasia zebrina


  • Light: bright indirect light keeps petioles firmer and helps prevent weak stretched growth. Gentle morning sun can suit acclimated plants, but harsh sun can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering again. The corm performs best when periods of moisture are followed by airflow through the substrate.
  • Substrate: use a loose aroid mix with bark, pumice or perlite, coco fibre and a small moisture-retentive fraction. The mix should stay open around the corm.
  • Humidity: around 60–80% humidity supports smoother leaf expansion and fewer dry edges, but stable care matters more than chasing exact numbers.
  • Temperature: keep the plant warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cold conditions slow root and shoot growth quickly, especially if the pot is damp.
  • Feeding: feed moderately during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser. Overfeeding can leave salts in the substrate and mark the leaf edges.
  • Potting: mature plants can become top-heavy because of their long petioles. Use a draining inner pot and a heavier outer pot if the plant starts to lean.
  • Propagation: separate offsets or corms only when they are firm and show active growth. Young plants establish best in a small airy pot with warmth and humidity.

Common issues with Alocasia zebrina


  • Sudden drooping: can follow dry roots, saturated lower mix, cold exposure or transport stress. Check the substrate before adding more water.
  • Long weak petioles: usually point to too little light.
  • Several yellow leaves: often indicate root stress from excess moisture, cold roots or a tired substrate.
  • Crisp leaf edges: dry air, heat stress or salt build-up can damage the glossy blades.
  • Pests: thrips and spider mites can appear on leaf undersides and inside newly emerging spears.

Origin and name


Alocasia zebrina grows in warm lowland and lower-montane rainforest environments in the Philippines, where roots remain active in consistently warm conditions. The species was formally described in 1862 and entered cultivation in the nineteenth century. The name zebrina refers to the zebra-like striping on the petioles.


Plant safety


Alocasia zebrina contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, petioles and corm. If plant tissue is eaten or gets into the mouth, it can irritate the lips, tongue, mouth and throat, with drooling, swelling, vomiting or swallowing difficulty possible. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, repotting or division.

Before Fire TV, I was an old TV Curmedgeon
Configuration: Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
I have a Samsung Smart TV. I stream with You Tube TV. I watch Sox on the MLB app. I'm worried about getting into heaven because of all my swearing at technology. Samsung made me sign in once or twice a week, a huge task for an 84 year old using a remote clicker. YouTube TV has been nothing but a technology headache. And for an old man, I'm pretty hip with tech. Then there's my chair side JBL speaker which would often not connect. I'd have to restart my TV or re-pair it. The whole ball of wax drove me to up my IPA consumption and made me into a potty mouth. Then I got the Fire TV Stick. It's early on but it does seem to be an absolute game changer. Very user friendly. I got the HDMI USB power module and have also plugged direct into an outlet. Either is good. Right now, I'm using HDMI #3 to power my TV. Had to charge it overnight but all works well. All the technology fussing is over. No more having to sign in. No more problems navigating between live and recorded TV or to MOB and back. I'm very happy. Thank you Amazon. I think St. Pete might now let me in. Not too soon, I hope.

Great Streamer, But Remote Needs Work
I’ve been using the Firestick 4K for a while now and overall, I'm quite pleased with its performance and ease of use. The setup was a breeze, and I really appreciate the consistent user interface it provides across all my TVs, which is especially helpful for my wife. However, I have a serious issue with the remote. It feels cheap and flimsy, and honestly, the removal of the IR Blaster is baffling. I don't understand how this design made it to market, as it complicates setup for those of us with soundbars or surround systems that connect via optical cables. Additionally, the dedicated app buttons are a real annoyance. I often find myself accidentally launching other apps instead of streaming my preferred content on YouTube TV. I wish there were an option to disable them or even assign them to apps I actually use. If you're considering this device and can find it on sale for about $25, it's worth it for the streaming capabilities, but be prepared to navigate a frustrating remote experience.
