Alocasia ‘Zebrina’ Black Stem Variegated Sport is a rare variegated sport discovered within a batch of standard all-green Alocasia zebrina with black stems. This selection retains the species’ signature dark, nearly black petioles and elongated arrow-shaped leaves, but displays unexpected variegation expressed as lighter green to cream patterning caused by localized reductions in chlorophyll. As a sport, this plant represents a spontaneous genetic mutation rather than a stabilized cultivar, making it an uncommon and noteworthy find for collectors. It has an upright growth habit and prefers bright, indirect light with evenly moist, well-draining soil and warm, stable conditions.
