Pink Dragon Variegated 7cm

🌿 Pink Dragon Variegated Care Guide

The Pink Dragon Variegated is a true showpiece Alocasia, loved for its blush-pink petioles, silvery green leaves, and creamy to mint variegation. Elegant yet powerful, it brings colour, structure, and serious plant-shelf presence all at once.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Strong light helps maintain variegation and colour

• Avoid harsh direct sun — pale areas can scorch

• Low light = greener leaves and slower growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil evenly moist, never soggy

• Allow the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings

• Use a very airy aroid mix (bark + perlite + pumice + coco coir)

• Drooping leaves = thirsty

• Yellowing or soft stems = overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers 60–80% humidity

• Higher humidity keeps leaves smooth and edges crisp

• Adapts to homes with stable conditions

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 20–28°C

• Avoid drafts and cold windows

• Never below 16°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a diluted balanced or aroid fertiliser

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Upright, elegant growth habit

• Variegation can vary leaf to leaf — totally normal

• May slow or rest in cooler months

• Wipe leaves gently (don’t rub hard)

• Not pet-safe
