Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ – Enchanted Shield of the Jungle 🐉🌿

Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is a rare jewel among foliage plants, prized for its thick, leathery leaves that resemble the scales of a mythical dragon. The foliage showcases deep emerald green veining over a silvery, textured surface, with a subtle shimmer that seems almost unreal. Compact and dramatic, it’s a show-stopping addition to any plant collection.

Key Features:

✔ Striking silver-green textured leaves with dark raised veining
✔ Compact growth – ideal for shelves, tabletops, or plant cabinets
✔ Thick, almost sculptural foliage that resembles reptile or dragon scales
✔ A collector's favourite for its rare, fantasy-like appearance
✔ Great as a statement plant in high-humidity areas

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – avoid harsh direct sun

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist – water when top 3–5cm is dry, never soggy

• Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) – use a humidifier or enclosed case if needed

• Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

• Feeding: Feed monthly in growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser

• Temperature: Loves warmth – keep between 18–26°C, protect from cold drafts

• Growth: Moderate grower – expect new leaves to unfurl one at a time

🌿 Tip: This plant is sensitive to overwatering and cold – keep warm and go easy on the watering can.
