Overview
Alocasia 'Zebrina' is one of the most distinctive foliage houseplants, admired for its dramatic combination of large, rich green arrow-shaped leaves and striking stems marked with bold zebra-like striping. The patterned petioles are as much a feature as the foliage itself, giving this plant year-round visual appeal. Its upright, elegant growth makes it an eye-catching statement for living rooms, home offices and bright hallways, where its tropical character adds height and texture without taking up excessive floor space. Grown primarily for its foliage, Alocasia 'Zebrina' is an excellent choice for contemporary interiors.
