Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' is a larger zebrina form with tall striped petioles and glossy green arrow-shaped leaves. It shares the same basic growth habit as Alocasia zebrina—upright growth from a corm with long stems and sagittate leaves—but tends to develop more height as it matures. Compared with standard Alocasia zebrina, mature plants often develop taller petioles and broader leaves under the same growing conditions, making them noticeably larger and taller while retaining the characteristic striped-stem look of the species.

The leaves are smooth, green and sagittate, with pointed front lobes and longer rear lobes. The petioles are pale green to yellow-green and marked with darker streaks and irregular striping. New leaves usually add height before the plant gains much width, so young plants can look narrow at first and become fuller as the root system strengthens.


Features of Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Leaf shape: glossy sagittate leaves, often larger on mature plants.
  • Petioles: pale green to yellow-green stems with dark irregular striping.
  • Growth habit: upright corm-based growth with long, tall petioles.
  • Indoor scale: medium to large in good conditions, especially once roots are established.
  • Background: a historic cultivated zebrina form rather than a separate species.

Care for Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Light: bright indirect light helps support firm petioles and reduces weak stretching. Gentle morning sun can suit acclimated plants; harsh sun can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: water deeply, then let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering again. The corm needs moisture followed by air movement through the mix.
  • Substrate: use a chunky aroid mix with bark, pumice or perlite, coco fibre and a small moisture-holding fraction. The mix should stay open below the base.
  • Humidity: steady humidity helps larger leaves expand cleanly and reduces dry edges.
  • Temperature: keep active growth warm, ideally 20–28 °C. Cold roots can slow growth and cause older leaves to decline.
  • Feeding: feed lightly but regularly during active growth with diluted complete fertiliser. Larger leaves and taller petioles benefit from steady nutrition, not heavy doses.
  • Potting: taller plants may need a heavier outer pot for stability. Move up only one pot size when roots fill the current container.
  • Propagation: propagate from firm offsets or corms with active growth points. Young plants establish fastest in warmth, humidity and an airy pot.

Common issues with Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba'


  • Leaning or drooping petioles: can follow low light, dry roots, excess moisture in the lower pot or cold exposure.
  • Long thin growth: usually points to insufficient light.
  • Several yellowing leaves: often indicate cool roots, root stress or a dense tired mix.
  • Dry edges on larger leaves: low humidity, heat stress or salt build-up can mark the blades.
  • Pests: thrips and spider mites can appear on leaf undersides and inside new spears.

Origin and name


The species behind this plant, Alocasia zebrina, is native to the Philippines. 'Tigrina Superba' has been used in horticulture since the nineteenth century and is treated as a cultivated zebrina form rather than a separate species. The species name zebrina refers to the zebra-like petiole markings, while 'Tigrina Superba' points to a stronger striped-petiole form in cultivation.


Plant safety


Alocasia zebrina 'Tigrina Superba' contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, petioles and corm. If plant tissue is eaten or gets into the mouth, it can irritate the lips, tongue, mouth and throat, with drooling, swelling, vomiting or swallowing difficulty possible. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash hands after pruning, repotting or division.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read
