Reticulata Elephant Ear - Alocasia zebrina

Description: Plant Size A baby plant, that is 3-8 inches tall, will arrive at your home in a 3-inch-deep pot. Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb. Description The Reticulata Elephant Ear has elongated leaves with a patterned coloration that you won't find in other Alocasias. This variety makes a great houseplant thanks to its manageable size. If your plant doesn't look just like the picture, give it a little time to grow up. Elephant ears' attributes become even more defined when they mature. • Mature height: 18-36 inches • Light: Full to part shade • Soil: Do not let dry out between waterings. • Zones: 7b-11 Questions or Problems? We have shipped thousands of plants safely to their destinations; however, please send us a picture of your plant(s) within 48 hours of arrival if you have any questions or problems. We can then assess for our Live Delivery Guarantee. Shipping and Handling Combine shipping and save! Shipping for one plant is $6.99 and each additional is just $0.50. We ship 7-10 days after payment is received. During this time, we will be busy handpicking your plants, processing them per USDA requirements, and then packing with care for a safe journey to you. Dead Leaves? Many sellers ship elephant ear rhizomes without leaves, but we have found a way to successfully ship with leaves. However, on occasion a leaf is damaged during shipping or some leaves die. No fear! The rhizome is still alive and healthy and will grow new leaves relatively quickly. Just repot and trim off any damaged or dead leaves. Dormancy In the winter, this plant generally loses its leaves and may arrive bare to you. This is totally normal and actually very healthy. Like hibernation, dormancy is an important part of the growing cycle when plants are strengthening their root systems instead of focusing on creating new growth. They are still healthy, viable plants that will begin growing new leaves in spring with more light and warmer temperatures during the day and night.
