Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' is a larger zebrina form with tall striped petioles and glossy green arrow-shaped leaves. It shares the same basic growth habit as Alocasia zebrina—upright growth from a corm with long stems and sagittate leaves—but tends to develop more height as it matures. Compared with standard Alocasia zebrina, mature plants often develop taller petioles and broader leaves under the same growing conditions, making them noticeably larger and taller while retaining the characteristic striped-stem look of the species.

The leaves are smooth, green and sagittate, with pointed front lobes and longer rear lobes. The petioles are pale green to yellow-green and marked with darker streaks and irregular striping. New leaves usually add height before the plant gains much width, so young plants can look narrow at first and become fuller as the root system strengthens.


Features of Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Leaf shape: glossy sagittate leaves, often larger on mature plants.
  • Petioles: pale green to yellow-green stems with dark irregular striping.
  • Growth habit: upright corm-based growth with long, tall petioles.
  • Indoor scale: medium to large in good conditions, especially once roots are established.
  • Background: a historic cultivated zebrina form rather than a separate species.

Care for Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Light: bright indirect light helps support firm petioles and reduces weak stretching. Gentle morning sun can suit acclimated plants; harsh sun can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: water deeply, then let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering again. The corm needs moisture followed by air movement through the mix.
  • Substrate: use a chunky aroid mix with bark, pumice or perlite, coco fibre and a small moisture-holding fraction. The mix should stay open below the base.
  • Humidity: steady humidity helps larger leaves expand cleanly and reduces dry edges.
  • Temperature: keep active growth warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cold roots can slow growth and cause older leaves to decline.
  • Feeding: feed lightly but regularly during active growth with diluted complete fertiliser. Larger leaves and taller petioles benefit from steady nutrition, not heavy doses.
  • Potting: taller plants may need a heavier outer pot for stability. Move up only one pot size when roots fill the current container.
  • Propagation: propagate from firm offsets or corms with active growth points. Young plants establish fastest in warmth, humidity and an airy pot.

Common issues with Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Leaning or drooping petioles: can follow low light, dry roots, excess moisture in the lower pot or cold exposure.
  • Long thin growth: usually points to insufficient light.
  • Several yellowing leaves: often indicate cool roots, root stress or a dense tired mix.
  • Dry edges on larger leaves: low humidity, heat stress or salt build-up can mark the blades.
  • Pests: thrips and spider mites can appear on leaf undersides and inside new spears.

Origin and name


The species behind this plant, Alocasia zebrina, is native to the Philippines. 'Tigrina Superba' has been used in horticulture since the nineteenth century and is treated as a cultivated zebrina form rather than a separate species. The species name zebrina refers to the zebra-like petiole markings, while 'Tigrina Superba' points to a stronger striped-petiole form in cultivation.


Plant safety


Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, petioles and corm. If plant tissue is eaten or gets into the mouth, it can irritate the lips, tongue, mouth and throat, with drooling, swelling, vomiting or swallowing difficulty possible. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, repotting or division.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
