Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo 9cm

🌿 Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale Albo’ Care Guide

Dragon Scale Albo is all about mythical foliage — heavily textured, armour-like leaves splashed with crisp white variegation that make it look like a dragon wandered into a greenhouse and left a souvenir behind. Compact, stunning, and peak collector Alocasia energy. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Needs strong filtered light to maintain white variegation
• Avoid direct sun — white sections can scorch quickly and textured leaves can mark easily
• Too little light may reduce variegation and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Excellent drainage is essential — roots hate staying wet
• Consistent moisture is better than repeated drought cycles

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (65–85%)
• Dry air can cause crispy edges and damaged new growth
• Best suited to cabinets, humid rooms, or stable collector setups

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding when growth slows or dormancy occurs

🌱 Quick Tips

• Compact grower — perfect for shelves and display cabinets
• White variegated growth is naturally slower than green forms
• Warm stable temperatures help new leaves unfurl cleanly
• Chunky airy substrate keeps roots healthy

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

Dragon Scale Albo looks like fantasy artwork that somehow became a houseplant. Tiny dragon armour, white splashes, and absolutely no interest in being ordinary. 🌿✨
