Alocasia 'Dragon Scale' Mint Variegata
Description
This exceptional Alocasia is distinguished by its thick, crinkled leaves whose texture evokes dragon scales. Its unique feature lies in its "Mint" variegation: a constellation of mint green, cream, and silver hues that intertwine on the dark, veined surface of the leaf.
-
Light: Very bright and indirect. Excellent light is crucial to preserve the minty hues and prevent the plant from turning completely green again.
-
Watering: Moderate and precise; allow the top two centimeters of soil to dry out. Sensitive to overwatering (risk of rhizome rot).
-
Humidity: High (65-80%). A stable environment is necessary to prevent the edges of the leaves from turning brown.
-
Style: A "jewel-like" plant, compact and intensely textured, ideal for a display case or a spacious terrarium.
