Alocasia zebrina Reticulata 10.5cm H15cm

Meet the Zebrina Reticulata—the master of camouflage and style. While her stems feature the classic zebra-stripe pattern, her leaves steal the show with an incredible "reticulated" mesh of dark and light green veins. She’s structural, patterned, and brings a serious jungle-explorer vibe to your space! The Formal Name: Alocasia zebrina 'Reticulata' The Nickname: Mesh-Leaf Alocasia Roots: A stunning cultivar of species native to the Philippines. Natural Vibe: Humidity-rich tropical forests with plenty of dappled sunlight. Care Guide: Sunlight: Bright, indirect light is key. The more light she gets (without direct sun), the stronger her leaf patterns will be! Best Room: A bright office or a sun-filled corner where her patterns can be seen. Snacks: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every month during spring and summer. Tropical Feels: She’s a humidity lover—aim for 60% or higher to keep her looking fresh. Cosy Factor: Keep it warm (18–27°C). She’ll drop leaves if she gets a cold chill! Thirst: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Her stems store water, so be careful not to drown her! Safety First: Toxic – keep out of reach of pets and children. The Bedding: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix for maximum drainage. Family Tree: Propagate via corms or by dividing the root clump. Space Needs: Upright and architectural, reaching 60–90 cm in height. Speed: A moderate to fast grower once established. Uninvited Guests: Watch out for spider mites on the underside of those patterned leaves. Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years in the spring. Haircut: Snip off any tired lower leaves at the base to keep her looking tidy. Fresh Air: A beautiful and structural way to purify your indoor air. Plant Lore: The "reticulata" pattern refers to the net-like appearance of her unique leaf veins.
