Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’
Lighting: Your Alocasia will thrive in bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this will cause the leaves to burn. It is also important to avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Watering: Your alocasia loves humidity and prefers regular watering and keeping the soil moist but not soggy. This is not a drought-tolerant plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water.
Your Alocasia may go through a dormant period when light levels and temperatures are reduced in the winter months. During dormancy, keep your Alocasia in a warmer spot in your home and reduce the watering but do not allow it to completely dry out. You will see it perk up again in the spring.
Embrace your wild side with this lush tropical. Your Alocasia 'Dragon Scale' plant will add a different leaf shape to your household collection or can be that perfect green gift to someone special. All plants can be inserted into a decorative pot and ready to display with a plant care instruction card accompanying each new addition to your home.
