Alocasia zebrina 'Sarian' – Bold & Striking Elephant Ear Plant

Alocasia zebrina 'Sarian' is an eye-catching tropical plant known for its bold arrow-shaped green leaves and distinctive zebra-striped stems. A hybrid variety, it combines the best features of its parent species, making it a statement plant for homes, offices, or gardens. Its large, glossy foliage adds an elegant, architectural touch to any space.

Appearance & Growth

This fast-growing plant can reach a mature height of 1.5–2m with a spread of around 1m. Its deep green, elongated leaves with prominent veins sit atop tall, striped stems, giving it a unique and sophisticated look.

Growing Conditions & Care

Alocasia 'Sarian' thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial sun. It prefers well-drained, moist soil and regular watering, though allowing the soil to slightly dry between watering helps prevent overwatering issues. It enjoys high humidity, making it an excellent choice for indoor settings with occasional misting.

  • Perfect as a feature plant for homes, offices, or shaded outdoor areas

  • Thrives in bright indoor spaces, patios, and tropical gardens

  • Low-maintenance with a fast growth rate

  • Ideal for container gardening or as a statement piece

Enhance your home or garden with the stunning Alocasia zebrina 'Sarian', an exotic plant that adds a bold, tropical vibe wherever it’s placed!

Light requirement: Part sun/part shade and Bright indirect sunlight

Water requirement: High

Watering frequency: When the top 5cm of the potting mix is dry to the touch. Ensure the potting mix does not dry out completely to prevent leaf browning. On the other hand, similar to most potted plants, overwatering can cause root rot and pest problems. To keep your Alocasia happy, ensure you are watering it just right.

Soil: Rich, consistently moist but well-draining.

Skill level: Expert

Growth rate: Intermediate

Suitable for containers: Yes

More info: 1) Humidity: Alocasias are originally from tropical and sub-tropical regions and thrive in warm, humid conditions. Low humidity can cause leaf browning. Alocasias love about 70% humidity, but can be happy with 60% humidity - the humidity that Sydney more or less has throughout the year except for July, August and September. Increasing humidity levels with a humidifier or a pebble tray with water will make your plant healthier and keep the leaves looking lush.
2) Winter: Alocasias are not frost tolerant. Either bring them indoors during winters or plant them in an area that is protected from strong winter winds and mulch well. During winter, the leaves might die back. If this happens, reduce watering and feeding and the plant might grow back in spring!

AMAZING PLANTS AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE

The plants I received were so well packed for transport and just completely healthy with lovely thick stems and perfect foliage. I 100% recommend buying from The Australian Plant Shop as they will make sure you get a plant that is value for money.

Ginkgo biloba

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!

The Australian Plant Shop

I bought 4 plants for my son and am very happy with the service and the quality of the plants provided. I am an older person and wasn't comfortable with the online site for ordering so was able to speak with a person who was very helpful and happy to help me with my order. This is a great business for plant lovers.

Great Customer Service Despite Some Delays

Although there were some hiccups during the process, including stock issues and a 20-day wait, it’s clear from the quality of the plants I received that the store is genuinely committed to customer satisfaction. I appreciate their effort and will likely shop here again and recommend them to friends.

Super scented and really healthy

I went to some mid-size and tiny ones at the beginning of spring. All of them looked radiant and well taken care of, with some buds already blossoming and releasing a powerful scent. I will buy it again!
