How often should I water my Alocasia Dragon Scale?: Water the plant when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It’s important not to overwater, as the roots are prone to rot in soggy soil.
Can the Alocasia Dragon Scale thrive in lower light conditions?: Yes, while it prefers bright indirect light, it can tolerate lower light levels. However, less light may slow its growth and the leaves might not develop as vibrant.
Is the Alocasia Dragon Scale suitable for beginners?: This plant requires a bit more care, especially in terms of humidity and watering, so it might be challenging for beginners. However, with a careful attention to its needs regarding light, water, and humidity, it can be a rewarding plant to grow.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Alocasia Dragon Scale thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels, but its stunning dragon scale-like leaves will look their best with the right amount of light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch its delicate leaves.

? Water

??▫️ (Medium)
Water your plant when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry. Be cautious not to overwater, as Alocasia plants dislike soggy roots. Ensure the pot has good drainage.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)
The Alocasia Dragon Scale prefers a comfortable room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid placing it in draughty areas or near heating sources which can dry out the plant.

? Humidity

??? (High)
This plant loves a humid environment, ideally around 60% – 75%. Consider using a humidifier or placing it in a naturally humid room like the kitchen or bathroom.

? Repotting

Repot your Alocasia Dragon Scale every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for aroids. Repotting is also a great opportunity to check the health of the roots and trim any that are decaying.

? Pet Friendliness

Take care as Alocasia plants can be toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal spots include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or living rooms where there is enough light but no direct sunlight. Avoid placing it near radiators or vents.

? Air Purifying

This plant is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins from indoor environments and improve air quality.
