The Alocasia Dragon Scale is a highly sought-after tropical plant renowned for its striking, textured foliage. Its thick, heart-shaped leaves resemble the intricate scales of a dragon, with deep green veins contrasting against a light green or silvery background. This exotic plant’s dramatic appearance makes it a must-have for plant enthusiasts and collectors. Compact and manageable, the Dragon Scale is perfect for adding a unique touch of the tropics to small spaces while still making a bold visual impact.

Light/Water Requirements:

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while lower light may reduce the intensity of the leaf coloration.
  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. This plant enjoys consistently moist, well-drained soil but is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Size Information:

  • Comes in a 4" pot, ideal for smaller spaces such as desks, shelves, or windowsills.
  • With proper care, the Alocasia Dragon Scale can grow up to 2-3 feet tall, with its intricate leaves reaching up to 8-12 inches in length.

Ideal for:

  • Indoor spaces where its unique, scaly leaves can be admired, such as living rooms, offices, or bedrooms.
  • Perfect for plant enthusiasts and collectors seeking a rare and exotic tropical plant with a striking aesthetic.

Care Tips:

  • Rotate the plant occasionally to promote even growth and balanced light exposure.
  • Mist the plant or place it near a humidifier to maintain higher humidity, as the Dragon Scale thrives in more humid conditions.
  • Clean the leaves gently to remove dust and maintain their textured, glossy appearance.

Pet-Friendliness Rating:
2/5 – Like other Alocasia varieties, the Dragon Scale is toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s important to keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
