The Alocasia zebrina is a tropical plant with large leaves.

It is mainly prized for its ornamental stems and not its flowers or leaves.

Its large leaves stand out and are beautiful but its zebra-patterned stems are truly unique and really become the focal point.

This tropical plant is from Southeast Asia and the Philippines originally but has become quite popular among houseplants.

It grows to about three feet high and three feet wide and during the warm season is considered fast-growing.
