🌱 Plant History & Background
Native to Southeast Asia, Alocasia tigrina grows in warm, humid tropical environments where it thrives on forest floors and along riverbanks. Its iconic striped stems evolved to help camouflage the plant in its natural habitat, giving it the distinctive “tiger” appearance that makes it so sought after today.

🌞 Care Instructions
Light:
Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Too little light may slow growth.
Water:
Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry. Consistent moisture is key.
Humidity:
Prefers higher humidity (60–70%+). Humidity cabinets or humidifiers are beneficial, especially in drier homes.
Soil:
Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.
Growth Habit:
Moderate to fast growth during the warm growing season. Leaves may die back seasonally, especially in cooler conditions—this is normal for Alocasia.
