Extended Features: Dragon Scale is prized for its unique, mottled green foliage, which includes deep green veins, touches of lighter green, and a light silvery sheen. As the foliage ages, it will get darker. It can reach up to 3 feet tall with the right conditions when grown outdoors in warm humid climates. Grown as a houseplant it is unlikely to grow that large.
How To Maintain:
  • For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
  • Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
  • Protect furniture when watering.
  • Alocasia does best with bright indirect light, but will benefit from some early morning or late day sun indoors (right in front of an eastern or western window), particularly during wintertime. You may need to use a grow light during dark winter months, or move them to a sunnier window during that time.
  • It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. A well draining soil is necessary and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. Allow the top inch or so to dry out before watering again.
  • All-purpose potting mixes with additional orchid bark and perlite added is a beneficial medium for Alocasias.
  • It is happiest when grown between 60 and 85 degrees.
  • Alocasias also would appreciate hig
