Stingray

The baby Alocasia ‘Stingray’ is named for its remarkable leaves which appear like a school of floating stingrays hovering above the pot. The Alocasia stingray is a unique member of the colourful Araceae family, and needs a lot of space to spread her leaves wide. In natural settings her leaves become so large they’re said to resemble an elephant's ear. For many animals in the Southeast Asian rainforest the leaves, which can reach a metre wide, offer a safe hiding place.
