More About Alocasia Baginda Houseplant

With its stunning leaf shape and pattern that is said to resemble scales, the Alocasia baginda is commonly referred to as the Dragon scale plant or Dragon plant for short.

Its deep green leaves with distinctive veiny pattern give this plant a mystical appearance worthy of the mythical dragon.

The dragon plant does best in bright indirect light, it also likes direct early morning or late afternoon sunshine.

The dragon plants is a plant that can demand the attention of its plant parent. They require perfect conditions in order to thrive. Despite the extra effort that they can demand, the stunning foliage architecture and striking dragon scale leaf pattern make this plant well worth going to the trouble to keep.

A tray of pebbles is a great way to help keep the plant in its own humid micro-climate. It also prefers a slightly drier soil and so allowing the top 5cm of the soil to dry out before re-watering is a great way to achieve these conditions.

This houseplant should be kept away from heat sources and dry air, such as radiators and heaters, which will reduce the humidity around the plant and make its growing environment less than ideal.
