Alocasia 'Stingray'

Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray' is a cultivated form of Alocasia macrorrhizos with rounded, slightly cupped leaves and a long narrow tip. Each blade sits on a tall petiole and ends in a tail-like point.

This Alocasia grows tall petioles, broad leaves and a substantial rhizomatous base. In a bright, warm indoor position, it can become a large container plant with leaves rising well above the pot.

Tail-tipped macrorrhizos leaves

  • Botanical base: Cultivar of Alocasia macrorrhizos with an unusual blade form.
  • Leaves: Rounded, cupped blades with wavy margins.
  • Growth habit: Upright large Alocasia with tall petioles and a central rhizome.
  • Leaf shape: A long apical tip gives the blade its stingray-like outline.
  • Pot size: Give the plant enough space as the petioles lengthen.

Leaf form and mature scale

The rounded blade narrows into a clear end point, giving 'Stingray' its distinctive shape. Warm conditions support regular new leaves, and a stable pot helps balance the tall petioles.

During warm growth, regular watering helps the large leaves stay hydrated. Enough space around the plant protects fresh leaves from bending or rubbing before they harden.

Room for tall petioles

  • Light: Soft bright light keeps petioles sturdier and reduces leaning toward the window.
  • Watering: During warm active growth, keep the mix evenly moist. In lower light, let more of the substrate dry before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky fertile mix with bark, composted fibre, pumice or perlite so roots have air after watering.
  • Drainage: Keep the rhizome in an open, free-draining mix.
  • Temperature: Maintain about 18–30 °C during active growth, especially while new leaves are forming.
  • Humidity: Dry indoor air can mark soft new edges before the leaf hardens.
  • Feeding: If a well-rooted plant starts making smaller leaves, check the feeding routine.
  • Pot choice: Use a broad, stable container so the tall petioles stay balanced.
  • Repotting: Repot when the root ball becomes dense or watering runs straight through the pot.
  • Outdoor placement: Acclimate the plant gradually before any sheltered outdoor stay in warm weather.
  • Propagation: Divide established offsets or corms while the plant is actively growing. Keep divisions warm and lightly moist until new roots form.

Leaning petioles, yellow leaves and soft base

  • Long, leaning petioles: Increase light gradually and turn the pot so petioles grow more evenly.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check watering rhythm, root space and temperature; older lower leaves may yellow as larger new leaves replace them.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry substrate pockets, salt build-up or hot window exposure.
  • Soft rhizome base: Check the lower mix and roots for damage from cold, wet conditions.
  • Distorted new leaves: Check for pests and protect the emerging leaf from repeated rubbing or handling.

Give the petioles room to spread so new leaves can open freely. Turn the pot occasionally for a balanced shape.

Handling older leaves

Ingestion can irritate the mouth and stomach, and fresh sap may bother skin. Keep Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Stingray' away from pets and children, remove old leaves carefully and wash your hands after division.

Macrorrhizos name and stingray form

Alocasia macrorrhizos is the species behind 'Stingray'. The epithet macrorrhizos points to large roots or rhizomes; the cultivar name comes from the tail-tipped leaf shape.

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.

First use was great!
I've used it just the one time today. I had previously "edged" with a string weedwhacker, so while the grass was cut back some, there wasn't a trench dug out. I did a gentle push and pull, taking on about 18" at a time to get a new trench dug next to the sidewalk edge. It did a great job! The entire unit was much heavier and sturdy looking than I was afraid it would be for the price, so pleasantly surprised. Assembly wasn't complicated, but it did take two of us to hold it steady because getting the screws to seat in the square hole and not have the cord in the way was a bit tricky. I'm a 70+ lady, not large and not athletic, but I was able to handle this edger with ease. Now, to see how long it lasts!

Initially defective poor quality
This item was initially defective and I needed one so I ordered another thinking it was a fluke. Both devices would not turn on. The second one briefly turned on for about 30 seconds and died. The major inconveniences that I can't return it in the normal way. I have to bring it to UPS and there isn't one near my house. I am very disappointed with this item and also with the return policy

Came in skeptical, but it's GREAT!
I read all the bad reviews I could on this thing and considered it an acceptable risk considering the price. Assembly was easy and the instructions were fair. Not amazing, but once you handle the edger, the gist is clear. I was skeptical overall that the horsepower and plastic guard weren't going to be enough. I ran it for nearly 45min stopping every 5 or so to check the blade and guard. It stayed tight and I was able to manually turn the blade to make sure it was working right. My front yard and sidewalk have been neglected for a few years. I would sometimes edge it out with the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it as clean as I wanted without breaking a LOT of line. When I was done, I noticed the guard had a lot of soil and grass buildup that I was able to take out easily with my fingers. There were a few times I scraped the sidewalk edge, but the blade is still solid and ready for more! I was surprised at the quality and as you're going over an area, it feels solid and not squirly or out of control. My uses are going to be mostly suburban maintenance on my own yard. If I had more land or something bigger, I would consider something larger. For my yard and purposes, this edger is going to work just fine! Did not notice any issues with the blade getting loose, but stayed aware of it. There is a lock nut that keeps it in place. I imagine over time and switching blades, this is going to lose its locking function, but I already see amazon has replacement blades that come with new lock nuts!
