Alocasia Dragon Scale

The Alocasia Dragon Scale is a spectacular tropical houseplant renowned for its extraordinary textured foliage that displays remarkable beauty on both sides of the leaves.
  • Light: Bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight is ideal, as direct sun can scorch the delicate textured leaves.
  • Temperature: Warm temperatures are preferred, with a minimum night temperature of 65°F (18°C) and a maximum day temperature of 85°F (29°C).
  • Humidity: High humidity levels are crucial, ideally 60% and above. Place near a humidifier or use a pebble tray with water to provide the extra moisture they crave.
  • Watering: Water deeply and let the soil dry a bit before watering again. Keep the soil moist without overwatering, using a well-draining potting mix.
Additional Notes
  • Foliage Characteristics: This plant produces thick, leathery leaves with silvery-gray coloration and deeply textured, quilted patterns that create the signature dragon scale effect.
