Stingray Alocasia | 6″ Pot

Exotic plants are often unusual, interesting, and attractive. The Alocasia macrorrhiza ‘Stingray’ meets this definition on all counts. One look at the plant and it is clear to see why the common name is the Elephant Ear Stingray. While the leaves are not as large as the more common elephant ear plant, it can still grow to a decent size in the right conditions. The distinctive “tail” combined with the “wings” looks very much like a stingray. This plant originates in Southeast Asia. It is relatively easy to look after provided you follow a few basic guidelines which will be covered in this article.
