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.

Comfy, nonslip with nice lenses!
Color: Iced By Yetis V2
I have several pairs of Goodr glasses, and so I picked up yet another pair in this nice color combo of white and blue reflective lenses. The order said "v2", but I couldn't find much difference. I think there is an upgrade on the material or hinge? I guess it might feel a little more comfy on my face, but I had chalked that up to just being a new pair and not my old worn down pair that I wear daily. The size of the mediums (OG) is perfect for the average size face. You can even "try on" the glasses on the Goodr website if you aren't sure, but the measurements are a pretty good indicator if you need the regulars or need to change size. Goodr lenses are quality, and have great sun protection, especially with their reflective lenses. The only Goodrs I haven't liked too much are the more "clear" lenses where you can see your eyes clearly through the lenses from the front, but that is just a preference choice, and they have so many options. I'll probably look at picking up another color combo soon. I have about 5 pairs of the "OG" glasses, and they have all been great and super durable. The only thing I have noticed is the frames pickup a lot of grease from my face, especially if I wear sunblock, but I just wipe them down before and after use, and they seem to last forever. I also really like the little carrying case they give you, it doubles as a microfiber cloth. If you want more protection, the box it ships in is a sturdy little cardboard slider box that works very well for protection and storage.

High quality frames with weak polarization
I really like the look and feel of these glasses—they seem to be high quality. I like the fit and the non-slip texture of the frames. Two things detract from otherwise being exactly what I was looking for. First, and most importantly, the polarization seems less strong than what I’ve had in other sunglasses. Glare from shiny things like glass on cars and glare on my phone screen seems barely reduced compared to looking without the glasses (tilting my head makes barely any difference in the polarization). I’ve noticed that especially while driving. So I’m taking off one star for that. Another thing that is more just a personal preference is that the brown lenses are less to my liking than I expected. They really give a strong brown/sepia cast to the world compared to the gray lenses I’ve predominantly used in the past. It reminds me a bit of the light on a day with strong wildfire smoke in the air. I wish they offered these same frames but with gray lenses so that this effect wasn’t so pronounced. No stars removed for this since it’s more of a personal preference, but thought I would point it out for anyone who might be more used to gray/natural lenses without realizing it like I was.

GREAT PURCHASE!! Perfect for the beach!
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1~3 person)
The perfect beach blanket! I recently purchased this for a trip to Amelia Island in Florida. It did exactly what it was supposed to. Waterproof and sandproof! It even held up in the heat really well. The sand got super hot, but the blanket didn't. Thouroghly pleased! Easy to pack back up, and super light and compact.

Great lightweight beach blanket
Color: Blue, Size: 7x7 FT (1~3 person)
This is a great beach blanket, very well designed. Really lightweight, durable, quick drying, easy to use, packs very small. Stakes are included, but we never use them since the corner pockets filled with sand are sufficient to hold the blanket in place. Folding instructions are also provided, but you can just stuff quickly the blanket into the attached pouch, and the overall fine wrinkles are not an issue -- the blanket still looks very nice. The blanket is very thin, so there's no extra "padding" (this is what keeps it super lightweight and quick drying), but it works great on soft sand, so it's perfect for our use. (This is the first one I've bought, but we've used my son's for years.)
