Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray'

The Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray' is one of the most uniquely shaped houseplants you can grow, bringing a whimsical, exotic energy right into your living room. You will immediately see how it got its name; the ribbed, upward-sweeping leaves and elongated, tapering tips look exactly like graceful stingrays gliding through an emerald sea. This architectural wonder grows quickly when happy, typically reaching a spectacular three to five feet tall and wide indoors, making it an incredible floor plant to anchor an empty corner or frame a bright window. Bringing a 'Stingray' into your home gives you a living conversation piece that transforms any ordinary room into a lush, tropical sanctuary.

To keep those magnificent, wing-like leaves looking their best, place your 'Stingray' in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, such as a few feet back from an east- or south-facing window. Harsh, direct sun will quickly scorch the foliage, so a gentle, filtered glow is exactly what it needs to thrive. When it is time to hydrate, wait until the top two to three inches of soil feel completely dry to the touch, and always ensure your pot drains fully; their thick root systems are prone to rot if left sitting in standing water. As a trusted word of advice for our animal-loving gardeners, this exotic beauty is highly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so you must display its grandeur safely out of reach of your curious furry friends.
