Description

elephant ear plant zebrina Alocasia zebrinaAlocasia zebrina Alocasia zebrina is a Philippine species known for pale green petioles marked with irregular dark striping. The leaves are glossy, green and narrow sagittate, but the striped petioles are the plants most distinctive feature. Mature plants grow upright from a corm and can become tall indoors when light, warmth and root space are steady. The leaf blades are smooth and arrow shaped, with pointed front lobes and long tapering rear lobes.

Alocasia zebrina


Alocasia zebrina is a Philippine species known for pale green petioles marked with irregular dark striping. The leaves are glossy, green and narrow-sagittate, but the striped petioles are the plant’s most distinctive feature. Mature plants grow upright from a corm and can become tall indoors when light, warmth and root space are steady.

The leaf blades are smooth and arrow-shaped, with pointed front lobes and long tapering rear lobes. New leaves emerge as folded spears, rise on their petioles, then open into glossy green blades. This growth pattern means the plant often gains height before it gains width. The corm sits at the base of the plant and produces both roots and new shoots; mature plants can also form offsets or small corms around the base.


Features of Alocasia zebrina


  • Leaf shape: glossy narrow sagittate leaves with long rear lobes.
  • Petioles: pale green stems with dark brown to dark green irregular striping.
  • Growth habit: upright corm-based growth with long petioles.
  • Indoor scale: medium to tall once established, depending on light, warmth and root volume.
  • Origin: the Philippines, where the species grows in warm rainforest conditions.

Care for Alocasia zebrina


  • Light: bright indirect light keeps petioles firmer and helps prevent weak stretched growth. Gentle morning sun can suit acclimated plants, but harsh sun can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering again. The corm performs best when periods of moisture are followed by airflow through the substrate.
  • Substrate: use a loose aroid mix with bark, pumice or perlite, coco fibre and a small moisture-retentive fraction. The mix should stay open around the corm.
  • Humidity: around 60–80% humidity supports smoother leaf expansion and fewer dry edges, but stable care matters more than chasing exact numbers.
  • Temperature: keep the plant warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cold conditions slow root and shoot growth quickly, especially if the pot is damp.
  • Feeding: feed moderately during active growth with a diluted complete fertiliser. Overfeeding can leave salts in the substrate and mark the leaf edges.
  • Potting: mature plants can become top-heavy because of their long petioles. Use a draining inner pot and a heavier outer pot if the plant starts to lean.
  • Propagation: separate offsets or corms only when they are firm and show active growth. Young plants establish best in a small airy pot with warmth and humidity.

Common issues with Alocasia zebrina


  • Sudden drooping: can follow dry roots, saturated lower mix, cold exposure or transport stress. Check the substrate before adding more water.
  • Long weak petioles: usually point to too little light.
  • Several yellow leaves: often indicate root stress from excess moisture, cold roots or a tired substrate.
  • Crisp leaf edges: dry air, heat stress or salt build-up can damage the glossy blades.
  • Pests: thrips and spider mites can appear on leaf undersides and inside newly emerging spears.

Origin and name


Alocasia zebrina grows in warm lowland and lower-montane rainforest environments in the Philippines, where roots remain active in consistently warm conditions. The species was formally described in 1862 and entered cultivation in the nineteenth century. The name zebrina refers to the zebra-like striping on the petioles.


Plant safety


Alocasia zebrina contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, petioles and corm. If plant tissue is eaten or gets into the mouth, it can irritate the lips, tongue, mouth and throat, with drooling, swelling, vomiting or swallowing difficulty possible. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, repotting or division.


Quick facts


  • Botanical name: Alocasia zebrina G.W.Johnson & R.Hogg
  • Family: Araceae
  • Native range: Philippines
  • Growth type: corm-forming Alocasia
  • Best for: growers who want a tall Alocasia with striped petioles and clean green leaves

Supports DP Alt + Power Delivery from one source
This is one of the very, very few USB-C hubs out there that successfully pushes DisplayPort Alt and 100w PD functionality from one source cable to one device. My monitor has a USB-C DP alt port that also pushes 95w PD and this hub successfully pushes both of those to my laptop, phone, and android handheld console. The marketing material says something about USB PD cannot work with DP alt, but it seems to be working fine for me so who knows. With this little hub in-between the link from the monitor to the device, I can now add a USB ethernet adapter and game controller, and I only ever have to plug one USB-C cable into my device (and I am using a USB4 extension cable with no issues as well) and it all works perfectly!

Supports Reverse Charging a Laptop on Monitors with USB-C PD!
This adapter is unique in that it supports reverse charging + video on the same port. I use this with an LG monitor (60W PD) and an M1 Pro Mac. At first, I had connectivity issues: hub was disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. I followed advice to update the firmware on the hub, but that didn't solve the issue. Turns out, my monitor also needed a firmware update. Once I updated the monitor firmware, it stabilized and has been working great ever since.

Works perfectly with Macbook Air M2 - power, audio, video, sleep/wake, in clamshell mode!
My monitor has a USB-C video input that supports power delivery - so I was supposed to be able to charge my laptop with the same connection that goes to the monitor. Have had trouble finding an unpowered hub that actually supports all this without any hiccups, but according to all the specs I knew this was supposed to be possible. But this one does! Now I can connect my apple laptop to my monitor, keyboard and mouse, and run in clamshell mode or with the laptop open, and it charges, wakes from sleep, does all the things I want. It also sends audio to the monitor (as it should). And I only need one USB-C connection to my laptop to do all this. Note: I just got this hub so I don't know about longevity, and I haven't tested transfer speeds from all the ports on the hub, because that's not a big concern for me.

So far, so good. It's a USB-C hub, Anker has been doing USB hubs and power supplies for many years
I've always been impressed with Anker products, and great customer service! I do feel like they are starting to abandon the Android side of things recently, and the selection of cables has declined. USB-A cables seem to be discontinued, as well as USB-B. I did have a really great CSR experience a while back. I had bought a Lithium Ion car battery jumpstarters, and had not used it for several years. I needed it one night, and the cables to connect to the battery had failed. Couldn't start my car. Even though the warranty was expired, and the product was even discontinued, they shipped me (at their cost) a replacement set of cables. Now a loyal customer.
