Alocasia Variegated Dragon Scale A
$92.00
Alocasia Dragon Scale is part of the Baginda family of alocasias. It gets its name from its dark green color with pale green gradients. The leaf shape and a contrasting leaf pattern is what makes it look prehistoric, giving it the dragon name.
Alocasias grow from rhizomes, or tubers, and can be propagated through separating baby rhizomes, or corms, off of the mother plant. This also means that as long as you have a healthy tuber, you have a plant, even if it loses all its leaves or roots. They prefer to stay on the moist side, without drying out between waterings. They benefit from higher humidity but generally will acclimate to whatever levels you grow them in. They prefer bright indirect light, and though Alocasias can grow in lower light, they will become leggy when they reach for the light.
This Dragon Scale has aurea, or yellow variegation. You will receive the exact plant pictured so please be sure to look at all of the photos. It is a rooted growing plant in a 3 inch pot, potted in perlite.
