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