🌿 Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ Care Guide

The Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is a true fantasy come to life — shimmering, deep-green leaves with a tough, scale-like texture and silvery undertones that make it look straight out of a myth. Compact yet powerful in presence, it’s a collector’s favourite that adds texture, elegance, and a little bit of magic to your space.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain deep green tones and contrast

• Can tolerate medium light but may grow slower

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its sculpted leaves

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry

• Loves a chunky, airy mix (bark, perlite, and moss) to protect its roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60%+) to keep leaves lush and vibrant

• Mist gently, group with other plants, or use a humidifier

• Dry air may lead to crisping along the leaf edges

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate regularly for even growth

• Wipe leaves gently to keep that dragon-like sheen

• Not pet-safe — keep out of reach of cats and dogs
