Alocasia Dragon Scale

The Alocasia Dragon Scale is a striking tropical plant known for its metallic green leaves with pronounced dark veining that creates a dramatic, reptilian texture.

Care details:

• Requires bright indirect light or dappled shade to maintain its distinctive foliage
• Prefers consistently moist soil but never waterlogged; performs better in ceramic pots than terracotta due to moisture retention
• Thrives in high humidity environments - group with other tropical plants and use pebble trays for increased moisture
• Maintains best growth in temperatures between 13-27°C, but must stay above 16°C to prevent dormancy
• Benefits from monthly feeding during growing season with standard houseplant fertilizer
• Toxic to both humans and pets if ingested
• Requires vigilant care as it quickly shows signs of distress through leaf changes
• May enter dormancy if exposed to low temperatures for extended periods, which can be fatal
• Best suited for experienced plant parents who can maintain consistent humidity and temperature
