🌿 Botanical Name

💚 Common Names

Alocasia Stingray, Stingray Elephant Ear

🌿 Description

The Alocasia Stingray is one of the most unique tropical houseplants you'll ever encounter. Its glossy green leaves feature an elongated tip and wing-like shape that remarkably resembles a stingray gliding through the ocean, making it an instant conversation piece in any plant collection.

With its upright growth habit and bold architectural foliage, the Stingray brings a dramatic tropical feel to homes, offices, and plant rooms. While it has an exotic appearance, it's surprisingly rewarding to grow when provided with consistent care and the right environment.

Bold. Playful. Unforgettable.

☀️ Light

Thrives with a wide view of the sky.

Bright, indirect light encourages strong growth and large, healthy leaves. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.

💧 Water

Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry 25–50% before watering again.

Alocasias prefer consistently moist soil but should never remain waterlogged. Allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings helps maintain healthy roots.

🌡️ Temperature & Environment

Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F.

Protect from temperatures below 60°F, cold drafts, and sudden environmental changes. Warm, stable indoor conditions encourage continuous growth.

🌱 Soil

Use a chunky, well-draining indoor potting mix that retains some moisture while providing excellent airflow around the roots. Always plant in a container with drainage holes.

🪴 Growth Habit

An upright tropical that grows from underground corms, producing dramatic, sculptural foliage. As the plant matures, new leaves emerge larger and more striking than the last.

🐾 Pet Safety

Not pet-safe. Alocasia Stingray contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if ingested by cats and dogs.

🌿 Fleurish Tip

Don't be alarmed if your Alocasia occasionally sheds an older leaf while producing a new one. This is a normal part of its growth cycle. Consistent watering, warm temperatures, and bright indirect light will keep your Stingray looking its best.

With its one-of-a-kind foliage and tropical personality, the Alocasia Stingray is a must-have for collectors looking to make a statement.
