Alocasia zebrina: a plant whose stems outshine its leaves.
–
Deeper thoughts: when you look at this leaf, your first thought is often what am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
–
But let me ask you, how long do you expect leaves to last? Do you think with “proper care”, every leaf should stay perfect forever? Okay, if not “forever”, then how long? And what does an acceptable leaf death look like?
–
If you apply a strict right/wrong approach to plant care, you’ll get discouraged or bored quickly. That’s why I wrote ‘The New Plant Parent’ – it’s not just for new plant parents, it’s about a new approach to plant enjoyment: understanding what actually matters and accepting what’s beyond your control.
