Know before you buy
Yes, each purchase is for the specific, established specimen photographed, ensuring you know exactly which variegation pattern you are bringing home.
No, the Alocasia Zebrina Albo is toxic to pets. It should be kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This plant requires bright, indirect light to thrive. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain its growth and vibrant variegation.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This acclimation period allows the plant to adjust to your home's environment and reduces transplant shock.
To meet its high humidity needs, you can place the plant on a pebble tray with water, group it with other tropical plants, or use a humidifier nearby. Avoid placing it directly in front of air conditioning or heating vents, which can dry out the foliage.
Check the soil moisture by feeling the top inch or two; if it feels dry, it is time to water. The plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root issues.
