☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Alocasia Dragon Scale loves bright, indirect light but is fairly tolerant if the light is a bit lower than ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch its stunning leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Alocasia when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as its roots don’t like to sit in moisture. Less is more when it comes to hydrating this plant.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
This plant prefers a comfortable room temperature between 15°C and 25°C. It’s not a fan of drastic temperature changes, so keep it away from drafty windows and heating vents.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
The Alocasia Dragon Scale thrives in a higher humidity environment, ideally between 60% and 75%. If your home is on the drier side, consider using a humidifier or placing it in a well-lit bathroom.
🪴 Repotting
Repot your Alocasia Dragon Scale every couple of years or when it seems to outgrow its pot. Use a well-draining, airy potting mix to prevent water retention and root rot.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is not pet-friendly. It can be toxic if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
A perfect spot is a well-lit bathroom where it can enjoy the extra humidity, or near a north-facing window where it will receive plenty of light without the harsh direct sun.
🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
The Alocasia Dragon Scale is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it not just beautiful but also beneficial for your indoor environment.
✨ Other Plant Features
