Zebrina Elephant Ear Plant - Alocasia - Houseplant - 4" Pot

The Alocasia zebrina is a tropical plant in the family Araceae. The trick is to understand how it grows in its natural environment and try to mimic those conditions. Think filtered light, consistent moisture, and warm temperatures. They prefer several hours of bright, indirect sunlight. Alocasias require lots of nutrients in order to thrive, and second, they are prone to root rot and cannot tolerate wet feet. This means that your soil mix should be rich in organic materials and well-draining. A mixture of equal parts potting soil, perlite or pumice, and coco peat is ideal. Ideally, the soil should stay consistently moist. Allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings and then water well—allowing the excess water to drain from the pot.
