Alocasia 'Sabrina' is an undescribed species from the forests of north Sulawesi, Indonesia.
It has slender, arrow shaped leaves with deeply undulating margins. It has mottled, striped stems. While this plant closely resembles Alocasia 'Jacklyn' and Alocasia 'Zebrina', it is a new species that is yet to be fully described.
Alocasia 'Sabrina' care:
This elephant ear plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out about halfway before watering again, but take care to not let it your plant remain completely dry for longer than a day or two. Provide your Alocasia 'Sabrina' with plenty of bright indirect light for optimal growth.
Additional information:
Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia.
There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side.
Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self reproduce from corms.
Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period.
