Alocasia zebrina, commonly called the zebra plant, is a tropical houseplant prized for its zebra-like stems. It is often difficult to find and tricky to grow since it is rather picky about its growing conditions. The plant has large, distinctly heart-shaped leaves that grow at the tip of the white-and-green striped stems. Native to the rainforests of the Philippines, this plant requires similar conditions—moist, rich, well-draining soil, dappled sunlight, warm temperatures, and high humidity.
