Alocasia 'Sabrina' is an elegant and sought-after variety, prized for its unique contrast between its zebra-striped stems and lush tropical foliage.
Its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves feature a deep, satiny green, supported by lighter veins that accentuate their relief. Its green and cream-striped petioles add a spectacular graphic touch, making this plant a true decorative piece.
Alocasia prefers bright light and to be pot-bound. Also, Alocasias are very fond of water and fertilizer. During its growing season, in summer, it is recommended to keep its soil slightly moist and to fertilize regularly.
Warning! Risk of toxicity if ingested. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid – risk of irritation if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
