Alocasia Stingray care:
This Alocasia prefers a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out between watering as they don't like to sit in water. These plants do best in bright indirect light but will tolerate lower light levels.

Customer Reviews
Literally had me ooh’ing and ah’ing when I opened the package! Very well packaged and in excellent health.
Came perfect, no broken leaves and securely packaged. It’s beautiful!
My plant came in pristine condition and it’s so pretty! Canopy Plant Co has done it again!
My stingray was in great shape and is still thriving today. Packaging was much better than I had an anticipated, and the plant was in great shape. The dirt was a little loose but nothing drastic.
My Alocasia stingray arrived healthy, no broken leaves or any other issues. Couldn't be happier.
