Alocasia Dragon Scale (Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale’)
Alocasia Dragon Scale is a stunning jewel Alocasia with thick, heavily textured leaves that genuinely look like they belong on a dragon. The silvery-green foliage features deep green veining and an almost sculpted appearance, becoming even more dramatic as the leaves mature.
Its compact size makes it perfect for collectors who want impressive foliage without a massive plant. Dragon Scale prefers warmth, humidity, bright indirect light, and an airy soil mix that allows its roots to breathe.
Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light, avoid harsh direct sun
💧 Water: Allow the upper portion of the soil to dry slightly between waterings, avoid keeping the roots constantly wet
🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity with good airflow
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65 to 85°F, protect from cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: No
⭐ Rare: Semi-Rare
Fun Fact:
Dragon Scale isn't just a cute name. The raised veins and textured surface of its leaves create an actual scale-like effect, especially as the foliage hardens and matures. 🐉🌿
