# I need care tips for my Alocasia Zebrina. I have two of them and one…

_Posted by Gavin S. on 2023-05-27_

I need care tips for my Alocasia Zebrina. I have two of them and one is doing super well and the other not so much. So today I decided to chop it down to just the nugget corm thingy. I’ve seen a few people do this but I don’t know the overall care guide to get it to grow back into what it was.

I love the zebrina, beautiful plant. It’s on my wish list. Good luck to you.

Here are what All Alocasias needs:  
Light! Lots and lots of light. But avoid too much direct sun. Supply with grow lights if needed.  
Food! They need lots of nutrients and should be fed regularly during the active period.  
Humidity is good too  
And even watering! Not too much and not allow it to dry out fully. They can go into dormancy if they’re exposed to droughts.
