Alocasia 'Stingray' is recognisable by rounded green leaves that narrow into a long tail-like tip. Smooth blades keep attention on the unusual outline, while long petioles lift the foliage above the pot as the plant matures. Young leaves may show only a short tail at first, with the tip stretching as the blade expands and firms. Give the pot room for outward movement and keep moisture even during active growth, then let the mix drain fully after watering.
