About
Alocasia Dragon Scale is a rare variant of Alocasia. The name comes from its light green silvery leaves and dark green veins which create a texture similar to dragon scales. Originally found in the limestone region of Easter Borneo this plant is as tropical as it gets. A warm, moist and humid home will give this stunning plant the best environment to thrive.
Care
Light: A bright room, but indirect sunlight. Brighter light will earn you larger leaves.
Water: Alocasias hate wet feet, but they hate to dry out, too -- you'll see the stalks droop if it gets too thirsty. Give it a relatively small amount of water every few days, perhaps a cup, as soon as the top inch of compost feels dry, and then let drain.
Humidity: Likes a moist environment - a bathroom is ideal, otherwise misting often will be just as good.
Temperature: This plant hates a draft, and needs to be kept warm at all times.
