Out of all of the different kinds of Alocasias, the Alocasia stingray (Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Stingray’) is one of the most unique. With patterned stems that faintly resemble the Alocasia zebrina and large leaves that take after its namesake from the sea, this tropical aroid will undoubtedly be the most eye-catching plant in the room. This stunning plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and is popular as a houseplant, although it can be difficult to find in some areas. For those with furry friends at home, you should be aware that as with all plants in the Alocasia genus, the Alocasia stingray is considered toxic to pets.
 
PLANT CARE
• Light: Provide bright, indirect light• Water: Water when the top few centimeters of soil feels dry• Considerations: Use a well-draining, chunky soil mix to promote air circulation to roots. Alocasias need warm temperatures and high humidity. It's common for these plants to drop leaves; don't worry! They can fully grow back from their corms.
