Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'

Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' is a large-growing zebrina plant with tall striped petioles, large glossy arrow-shaped leaves and fuller upright growth. It keeps the striped-petiole pattern of the Philippine species Alocasia zebrina while adding greater height and strong stem markings.

The plant grows from a corm and develops long petioles marked with dark bands, spots and tiger-like striping. Glossy green leaves lift above the pot and open into a sagittate shape with pointed lobes. Mature plants need room around the base because each new leaf rises high before the blade expands.

Tall striped petioles and large arrow leaves

Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' shows the zebrina pattern at a larger scale. The petioles are pale green to yellow-green and marked with irregular dark stripes that can look zebra-like or tiger-like depending on the stem. The leaves are glossy, green and arrow-shaped, with a smooth surface and a lifted position that shows the petiole pattern clearly.

Growth is upright and corm-based. New leaves emerge from the centre, the petiole extends upward, and the blade opens after the stem has created height. A mature indoor plant becomes medium to large in favourable conditions, especially when warmth, steady bright light out of harsh sun and root volume allow active growth.

  • Leaf shape: large glossy sagittate leaves with pointed lobes and a lifted presentation.
  • Petiole pattern: pale stems marked with dark zebra-like or tiger-like striping.
  • Growth habit: upright, corm-forming growth with tall petioles and a strong base.
  • Indoor size: medium to large in pots, with height increasing as roots mature.
  • Plant scale: tall striped petioles with glossy leaves held above a corm-based base.

Zebrina context and larger scale

Alocasia zebrina is a Philippine species from the wet tropical biome. The epithet zebrina refers to the striped petioles that define the species. This taller plant keeps the same glossy sagittate leaves, corm-based growth and striped petiole structure.

Indoor care follows the same core cues as the species, with added attention to height and pot balance. The plant needs warmth, humidity and a freely draining mix around the corm. A bright exposure with direct sun softened keeps petioles firm and new leaves broad. A mature plant benefits from space around the pot so the tall leaves can expand freely.

Vertical growth in Tigrina Superba

  • Light: good indirect light keeps petioles firm, leaves glossy and vertical growth compact. Gentle morning sun can suit acclimated plants behind glass or a sheer curtain.
  • Water: give a full watering after the upper part of the mix has dried enough to restore air around the corm. The corm responds well to even moisture, then free drainage around the roots.
  • Substrate: use a chunky aroid mix with bark, pumice or perlite, coco fibre and a small humus fraction. The mix needs to stay open below the base after watering.
  • Humidity: aim for 60–80% humidity for smoother new leaves and fewer dry edges. A humidifier helps large leaves expand evenly indoors.
  • Temperature: warm active conditions around 20–28 °C help striped stems and new leaves develop steadily. A consistently warm root zone is important for large new leaves.
  • Feeding: feed modestly as new striped stems and glossy leaves develop. A larger active plant can take regular low-strength feeding while producing leaves.

Potting height and large-leaf turnover

Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' benefits from a draining inner pot and a heavier cover pot as it gains height. Repot once roots fill the container or the mix loses structure. Move up by one measured pot size so the corm has room to expand while the lower mix still dries at a healthy pace.

Rotate the plant in the growing season to keep the base balanced. Tall petioles naturally lean toward the brightest side, so even exposure helps new leaves open with a regular shape. Wipe dust from the glossy blades with a soft damp cloth, supporting each leaf from below. The striped petioles can be brushed gently if mineral dust collects along the sheaths.

Seasonal slowdown is common indoors as light levels drop. Water less often while growth is slower, keep the pot warm and return to fuller feeding when new spears appear. Propagation is by offsets or firm corms with visible growth points. Young plants establish fastest in a small airy pot with warmth, humidity and bright window light screened from harsh sun.

Tall petioles under strain

  • Drooping petioles: sudden droop can come from dry roots, excess moisture, cold exposure or shipping stress. Check the mix below the surface before watering again.
  • Yellowing leaves: several yellow leaves together often point to cool roots, a dense mix or moisture held around the corm for extended periods.
  • Dry leaf edges: low humidity, strong heat or fertiliser salts can mark the large blades. Lift humidity and rinse the substrate with plain water when tips mark repeatedly.
  • Weak upright growth: low light can stretch petioles and reduce leaf size. Move gradually into brighter filtered exposure.
  • Leaf-surface pests: mite or thrips damage can hide on leaf backs, ribs and folded spears. Inspect new growth during each watering check.

Larger striped foliage indoors

Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' contains irritating crystals in its leaves, petioles and corm. Biting leaves, petioles or corm tissue can lead to mouth irritation, swelling, drooling, vomiting or swallowing difficulty. Keep the plant beyond reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, repotting or dividing.

Tigrina Superba and zebrina background

Taller zebrina growth, striped stems and glossy arrow-shaped leaves shape Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'.

Great scent, but leaves a film on my skin.
I was expecting bars of soap with more of a peppermint/eucalyptus fragrance and I just could not relate those fragrances to what the soap actually smells like. The Viking Revolution soap doesn't smell bad per se, and actually for me is rather fragrance neutral like you might find with the more sterile hospital and clinic type soaps. The lather factor for the Viking Revolution soap is mild to moderate in our hard water. It doesn't overdo lathering up but does lather up enough to let you know it is soap and is rather pleasing when rinsing it off where with some soaps you rinse and rinse and still need to rinse more to get the lather off your skin. I wash my hands and face many times throughout the day and night and so far the Viking Revolution soap has done a great job in leaving me feel a bit more refreshed and clean. I have noticed a bit of moisturizing of my face and hands being much softer after use, so the Viking Revolution soap does seem to come through with that feature. I handle and am around livestock and animals quite often and did notice that the soap seemed to cut through the grime pretty easily. I haven't tried the Viking Revolution as a body wash type soap. The square bars are just about a perfect fit for my hand and are easy to hold onto. I will use one bar for the shower and keep the bar in a drip rack where it has a chance to dry out after use. I do really like the presentation of the soap itself and it's a nice touch that each bar comes individually wrapped and includes a sticker and a small card. A rather attractive package if you are giving it for a gift. I'm more favorable of recommending this soap than not recommending it. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is for the fragrances not really being detectable as peppermint and eucalyptus.I do think I would buy this soap again though, fragrance or not.

Awesome soap!
I love this soap. It was a little small, ut was great quality. If smelled good and did not break me out. I have very sensitive skin and this was very gentle on my skin. I usually use caswell and Massey soap and this soap is every bit as good as my normal c&m soap. Very good soap. I Will definitely will buy again.

Scent is too perfumey
This soap pack is ok for the price, but the bars don't lather very well. They do have a good level of moisturizer that doesn't feel too oily, but my big complaint is the scents. The black one is ok, but the others are like cheap perfume. And I mean CHEAP perfume. It actually hurts my nose. I have used higher end soaps with a beautiful scent that is subtle and natural. This is not that. Overall not a bad product for the price, but don't expect to smell like a $1 perfume. Yuck
