The Alocasia macrorrhiza Stingray has large, unique leaves that resemble the wings and tail of a stingray. The subtle coloring of the stem adds extra interest. This tropical plant provides a beneficial air-purifying service, improving the indoor environment.

Care requirements are as follows:

• Light: Thrives best in well-lit, bright conditions, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Water: Keep the soil moist with warm water. Do not let the soil dry out.
• Temperature: Ideally between 18-22 °C.
• Humidity: Requires a humid environment with above-average humidity.
• Feeding: Apply slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season.

Alocasia has a dormant period during which the leaves will fade and die, which is normal. During this period it needs less water, so just moisten the soil from time to time.

Origin: Southeast Asia.
