Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray'

🌿 Alocasia ‘Stingray’

Common Name: Elephant Ear

Botanical Family: Araceae

Description:

The Alocasia ‘Stingray’ is a one-of-a-kind tropical treasure known for its playful, ocean-inspired foliage. Each leathery green leaf mimics the shape of a stingray gliding through water—broad and flat with an elegant, pointed “tail” that curls upward. Native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, this statement plant adds a bold, exotic touch to any indoor jungle while also helping to purify the air of common pollutants.

Light:

Thrives in a bright, indirect view of the sky. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its delicate leaf edges.

Water:

Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow about 25% of the soil to dry between waterings, and ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Temperature & Humidity:

Enjoys warm, humid conditions—mimic its tropical roots by keeping it away from cold drafts or air vents.

Pet Safety:

🚫 Toxic to pets if ingested.

Fleurish Tip:

This plant loves to show off in a bright corner where it can soak up plenty of indirect light. Use filtered water when possible and give it an occasional leaf wipe to keep that glossy, stingray-smooth shine! 💚
