Sun Requirements ▾

Bright, indirect light is ideal for Alocasia zebrina ‘Tiger’. Adequate light supports strong growth and helps maintain healthy stems and foliage. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves. Low light conditions may result in slower growth and leggy stems.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done when the top portion of the soil begins to dry out. Alocasia zebrina ‘Tiger’ prefers evenly moist soil but does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while allowing the soil to dry out completely may cause leaf drop or dormancy. Watering frequency should be reduced during periods of slower growth.

Care Tips ▾

Alocasia zebrina ‘Tiger’ prefers a warm, stable environment with moderate to higher humidity and good airflow. It performs best in a well-draining aroid soil mix that retains moisture without becoming compacted. Sudden temperature changes, cold drafts, or dry air can cause stress and leaf loss. This plant benefits from consistent placement and minimal repositioning once established.
