Alocasia 'Stingray'

Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray' is a cultivated form of Alocasia macrorrhizos with rounded, slightly cupped leaves and a long narrow tip. Each blade sits on a tall petiole and ends in a tail-like point.

This Alocasia grows tall petioles, broad leaves and a substantial rhizomatous base. In a bright, warm indoor position, it can become a large container plant with leaves rising well above the pot.

Tail-tipped macrorrhizos leaves

  • Botanical base: Cultivar of Alocasia macrorrhizos with an unusual blade form.
  • Leaves: Rounded, cupped blades with wavy margins.
  • Growth habit: Upright large Alocasia with tall petioles and a central rhizome.
  • Leaf shape: A long apical tip gives the blade its stingray-like outline.
  • Pot size: Give the plant enough space as the petioles lengthen.

Leaf form and mature scale

The rounded blade narrows into a clear end point, giving 'Stingray' its distinctive shape. Warm conditions support regular new leaves, and a stable pot helps balance the tall petioles.

During warm growth, regular watering helps the large leaves stay hydrated. Enough space around the plant protects fresh leaves from bending or rubbing before they harden.

Room for tall petioles

  • Light: Soft bright light keeps petioles sturdier and reduces leaning toward the window.
  • Watering: During warm active growth, keep the mix evenly moist. In lower light, let more of the substrate dry before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky fertile mix with bark, composted fibre, pumice or perlite so roots have air after watering.
  • Drainage: Keep the rhizome in an open, free-draining mix.
  • Temperature: Maintain about 18–30 °C during active growth, especially while new leaves are forming.
  • Humidity: Dry indoor air can mark soft new edges before the leaf hardens.
  • Feeding: If a well-rooted plant starts making smaller leaves, check the feeding routine.
  • Pot choice: Use a broad, stable container so the tall petioles stay balanced.
  • Repotting: Repot when the root ball becomes dense or watering runs straight through the pot.
  • Outdoor placement: Acclimate the plant gradually before any sheltered outdoor stay in warm weather.
  • Propagation: Divide established offsets or corms while the plant is actively growing. Keep divisions warm and lightly moist until new roots form.

Leaning petioles, yellow leaves and soft base

  • Long, leaning petioles: Increase light gradually and turn the pot so petioles grow more evenly.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check watering rhythm, root space and temperature; older lower leaves may yellow as larger new leaves replace them.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry substrate pockets, salt build-up or hot window exposure.
  • Soft rhizome base: Check the lower mix and roots for damage from cold, wet conditions.
  • Distorted new leaves: Check for pests and protect the emerging leaf from repeated rubbing or handling.

Give the petioles room to spread so new leaves can open freely. Turn the pot occasionally for a balanced shape.

Handling older leaves

Ingestion can irritate the mouth and stomach, and fresh sap may bother skin. Keep Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray' away from pets and children, remove old leaves carefully and wash your hands after division.

Macrorrhizos name and stingray form

Alocasia macrorrhizos is the species behind 'Stingray'. The epithet macrorrhizos points to large roots or rhizomes; the cultivar name comes from the tail-tipped leaf shape.

Gorgeous shelf
Color: 1set, Size: 16inch, Color: 1set, Size: 16inch
Gorgeous shelf! I know it’s not real wood but you can’t tell the difference and the price is right! Pipes are beautiful too! My dad put this up and had a little trouble aligning it up with the holes so make sure you have um right before you start drilling them.

Not REAL wood - particle board with veneer - but still beautiful.
Color: 1set, Size: 24inch, Color: 1set, Size: 24inch
Came on time, easy to assemble, relatively easy to install. Metal rods are actually metal, which is nice. Flanges are good quality, very nice rustic look. Shelves are less wonderful. They are definitely not real wood at all. They are cheap particle board with veneer. I would not have purchased had I read more reviews, BUT it is still beautiful, sturdy and does the trick. We can always cut our own shelves if we should so choose and re-use the very nice hardware. 4/5 for misrepresenting as real wood, but 5/5 for functionality and aesthetic.

It takes skill to mount and not have the leaning tower of Pisa
Size: 36in, Color: 4-layer
First, the product is beautiful! I purchased this one for a smaller wall location but realized it was more massive and commanding within a room - That ended up being a good thing as I decided to put it in my office where my L shaped desk, (a Vernal executive desk), being quite massive, was successfully offset by drawing the eye up to the wall behind the desk where I had this mounted - In essence, the room was now properly balanced with the large desk - One should also know it takes some skill to mount to the wall - It should be in studs - You have to use a balance or bubble level to first get the vertical pipes parallel to each other - Also, make sure both vertical pipe supports are symmetrically matching each other from one side to the other - If you mount one upside down the wood shelves won’t lay level - We also turned the pipe supports so that the shelves would be equal distant - If I recall, if they are turned the other direction , you end up with shelves that are not equal distant with 2 shelves ending up closer to each other than the remaining shelves. The shelving is very high quality and I was very, very pleased with the end result and how the whole room was balanced with the large desk in a smaller office space.

Solid shelves that look good!
Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer, Size: 36in, Color: 3-layer
Got these as a focal piece to my basement bar (added some cheap stick on LED strip lights behind it). I’m glad I ordered these! They are sturdy, shelves are solid wood, and the overall quality of the shelves is great. They were easy to install with provided hardware (although there isn’t much instruction in terms of mounting them, just putting them together), but it was simple enough to figure out with two people and a level (one holding, one making marks). Each pipe end has 4 screw holes, so expect to put 16 holes in your wall, but as shown in the photos the shelves can hold a good amount of weight. I recommend these for anyone looking to add the industrial look to your wall with a quality built shelf.
