Alocasia Zebrina "Tigrina" Rare Aroid Tropicals Houseplant Shade Collector's

Description

Alocasia zebrina ‘Tigrina’ is endemic to the Philippines. Its petioles display an interesting zebra-like pattern. The narrow, arrow-shaped leaves are almost leathery to the touch, dark green on the surface and lighter on the underside. The leaves exhibit a slight reticulation. Tigrina can grow up to 3 feet and over in its natural habitat. (Mine grew up to 2 feet in a gallon pot in about 2 years when the freeze got it, I live in Texas). Leaves can grow over 25 inches long.
A member of the Aroid family, Alocasia zebrina thrives in humid climate. Place a saucer of water beside the plant to create humidity or put the pot on a tray of water with pebbles. You can also mist the plant once a day. Alocasias grow on the forest floor rich in humus, under the canopies of trees thus makes a great house plant since it is shade tolerant.
New customers/collectors, WELCOME, I appreciate you stopping by! Please take time to read my

before making a purchase. Feel free to ask questions or leave me a note should you need more information regarding the culture and care of Aroids and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you.
What you are buying from Euphorbia Milii Garden are high quality stocks that have passed the USDA’s rigorous inspection. These are branded varieties (most of which are winners) supplied by a controlled plant exporter and is one of the leading tropical plant growers and exporters in Thailand.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
All plants including Crown of Thorns tend to develop yellow leaves (and eventually fall off) when under stress due to shipping impact, change of climate or location, transplant shock, etc.
If you’re only after the large-blooming hybrids, I suggest you carefully read the description, or better yet, inquire first before making a purchase.
I take great effort uploading the most recent pictures of actual plants offered so you know what exactly you are buying. These pictures are not ‘photo shopped’, altered nor enhanced in any way whatsoever. Photos of blooms taken from mother plants may vary slightly due to light conditions, and/or your own computer setting.
Most of what I offer are small plants, some blooming, some with flower buds and sometimes, I offer rooted cuttings that have no leaves, buds nor flowers. Please read the description carefully before buying.
As with most cultivars, the size and quantity of blooms develop in conjunction with the age of the plant, thus starter or young plants have starter-sized blooms and fewer in number as well.
I ship plants as you see them in the pictures, with all the leaves, buds, and blooms (if any) intact. Thorns are protected with tissue papers to avoid punctures to the leaves, that way you’ll receive your plant in pristine condition.
Many cultivars change flower color depending on the weather. A white variety in summer can be pink during winter or a pink bloomer in winter can turn orange in summer. Others would exhibit multiple color changes all throughout the year.
Should you decide to return your live plant, within the 14-day window, take note that a total of 45% listing fee, shrinkage fee and restocking fee is to be deducted from the initial price of the item/s purchased.
If you have any questions, suggestions or simply want more information regarding Euphorbia milii culture and care, please let me know and I will get back to you ASAP.
