Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods. If you find that your plant or pot has arrived in a less than satisfactory condition, please reach out to us at hello@plantsforallseasons.co.uk within a month of your delivery date.

We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate. It's also worth noting that the plant you receive may slightly differ from the images displayed on our website. This variation is natural, given that each plant is unique and subject to seasonal growth changes.

Alocasia zebrina, also known as the Elephant Ear or Zebra plant, is a striking houseplant with green, arrow-shaped leaves and distinctive zebra-like stripes on the stems. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Alocasia zebrina healthy and thriving:
Light: Alocasia zebrina prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light, but it may not grow as quickly or produce as many leaves. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Alocasia zebrina loves high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or by placing a tray of water near the plant. You can also mist the leaves regularly to help increase humidity.
Temperature: Alocasia zebrina prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.
Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Repotting: Alocasia zebrina grows quickly and may need to be repotted every year or two. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.
Pruning: You can prune the plant to control its size and shape or to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. This will also help promote new growth.
Pests: Alocasia zebrina can be prone to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.
Soil: Alocasia zebrina prefers a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.
Following these care tips will help your Alocasia zebrina thrive and stay healthy.
