Alocasia Zebrina Sarian
Sarian Elephant Ear
Alocasia foliage is large and ribbed. The arrow-shaped leaves sit on large petioles and they can reach up to 2m long! It doesn't cope well with direct sunlight so keep it in partial shade. Alocasia Zebrina Sarian is a huge hybrid of Alocasia Zebrina and Alocasia micholitziana. It is easily told by its beautiful striped stem and upward pointing, wavy-edged leaves with white veins. This plant can grow up to 10ft. tall. It is extremely easy to grow as a house plant. Sarian grows the best in partial sun light.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
In temperate climates, Alocasia is usually grown in a heated greenhouse or as a conservatory plant. Alocasias need rich soil that is moist (not saturated) but well-drained. Plant in partial shade. Indoors, grow in filtered light. Provide high humidity. In warm climates, similar to their native humid and tropical Southeast Asia, elephant ears will grow as perennials. In cooler areas they will need to be replanted each year.
