The Alocasia zebrina is a tropical plant in the family Araceae. Although some growers find it hard to keep this plant happy indoors, under the right conditions, it can grow quite happily in most homes. 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. Like all plants in the aroid family, the zebrina is a flowering plant although its blooms are not particularly interesting and it is considered rare for it to flower indoors.Wiping down the leaves of your Alocasia zebrina every 1 to 2 weeks will help to prevent dust accumulation and encourage photosynthesis—resulting in more vigorous growth.
