Striped Mottled Stems with Blue Silver Arrow Leaves! Alocasia tigrina - New for 2008! VERY RARE - Grows 5-6 ft Tall - These are not seen everywhere for the fact that mass production is not as large scale as most other plants in the Alocasia species. The upright, blue-ish, silvery hued and pointed arrow shaped leaves sit on striped and mottled dark green stems that spew color high up in the air! The leaf margins are curled downward and cupped giving the edges a rigid appearance. Another attribute of the leaves is that they are slightly undulate, adding even more eye appeal! Tropical in nature, this plant needs warmth and a strict watering regiment until it is well established and more mature. Should be brought in for winter or it will die down. I don't know if it comes back, this is my first year owning these. We'll let winter 2009 decide or if we get another freeze this year. This is a medium / large sized elephant ear plant that will do well in any southern landscape or use as an outdoor annual in colder climates. The soil mix should be course bark combined with rich organic matter to hold the moisture that drains rapidly. If you grow this one indoors, I would suggest that the leaves be misted daily and lightly to prevent the edges from browning and drying, but water very sparingly. Makes a perfect large potted specimen for ease of care and portability. Very Limited - 4 in stock
