Alocasia Dragon Scale is a captivating variety of Alocasia known for its deep green, scale-like leaves that resemble dragon hide. Native to the tropical forests of Borneo, this plant has thick, leathery foliage with prominent veining and a subtle metallic sheen that gives it a rich, almost mystical appearance. The leaves have a slight dome shape, adding dimension and making the plant look sculptural even when it's not large. It typically stays compact, making it a popular choice for collectors and those wanting an eye-catching plant in smaller spaces.
In terms of care, Dragon Scale thrives in bright, indirect light. It prefers high humidity but is generally more tolerant of average indoor conditions than some other Alocasia types, such as the Silver Dragon. A well-draining potting mix, regular misting or a humidity tray, and stable temperatures will keep it happy. While it can go dormant during colder months, it usually bounces back well in spring. With the right environment, Alocasia Dragon Scale offers year-round beauty and a bold, almost fantasy-like presence.
