Alocasia Sarian 萨利安海芋

 Alocasia Sarian 

This plant forms the leaves as part of the stems rather than at the end of the stems. It is a hybrid of two Alocasias, Alocasia Zebrina and Alocasia Micholitziana. It is named after an agriculture journalist Zac B. Sarian from the Philippines.

Because of the huge, pointy leaves, this plant is also known as the Elephant Ears.

When grown in warm climates throughout the year, this plant can grow up to 12 ft high. Whereas in colder climates, it mostly grows 5 to 6 ft tall. 

The natural rainforest environment can be difficult to imitate, but this article will help you create a perfect environment for your Alocasia Sarian.

Watering

Check the soil regularly to make sure it’s moist at all times. During spring and summer, the plant grows actively, so it needs extra water to grow all the new leaves.

Soil

For optimum growth, this plant needs light, airy, and well-draining soil. Never plant it in a heavy soil mixture as it is a rhizomatous plant. Don’t use rocky or sandy soils either.

Light

The most attractive part of this plant is the leaves, but the plant needs bright indirect sunlight to maintain its foliage color.

Fertilizer

Plant food helps promote new growth on the Alocasia Sarian. In spring and summer, you can feed it with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer.

萨利安海芋

萨利安海芋（Alocasia 'Sarian'）是斑马海芋（Alocasia zebrine）和天鹅绒海芋（Alocasia micholitziana）的杂交品种，结合了两者的优势，高挑又有色彩上的优势。在特定条件下可以长的巨大，箭头型的叶片可以长到50cm以上，是非常优美的观赏绿植。

『光照』

海芋最好在明亮散射光环境下养护。

朝东或朝南的窗边是理想的位置，可以享受早晨柔和的阳光，然后其余时间都是明亮的散射光。

光线太强（比如夏天正午的太阳光）会晒伤叶片，导致叶片焦边和枯黄。弱光环境，生长会变得很缓慢，定期的旋转植物，可以让它充分的接受光照生长的更均匀。

『浇水』

海芋特别喜湿，通常在表面几公分的土壤变干就可以浇水了！让盆土保持湿润！

『施肥』

在春夏生长季节，可以每月施一次均衡性的速溶肥，一半浓度即可，冬季不施肥，低温环境植物生长缓慢，施肥可能会烧伤根系。如果长期养护在光线充足和温暖的环境，可以增加施肥的频率！
