The Formal Name: Alocasia 'Pink Dragon' (often associated with A. baginda or A. aurora)

Care Guide

Care Guide:

Sunlight: Bright, indirect light is best. The more light she gets (without direct sun), the pinker her stems will appear!

Best Room: A bright bathroom or a living room with filtered sun.

Snacks: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season.

Tropical Feels: She thrives in 60% humidity or higher. Group her with other plants for a natural boost.

Cosy Factor: Keep it warm (18–27°C). She’ll let you know she’s cold by drooping!

Thirst: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. She likes consistency—neither parched nor drowned.

Safety First: Toxic – best kept away from pets and small children.

The Bedding: A chunky, airy aroid mix that allows the roots to breathe.

Family Tree: Best propagated by collecting corms or dividing the base.

Space Needs: Grows to a manageable 50–70 cm in height.

Speed: A moderate grower that rewards good care with frequent new leaves.

Uninvited Guests: Watch for spider mites, especially on the underside of the leaves.

Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years in the spring.

Haircut: Trim off older, dying leaves at the base to keep the pink stems looking fresh.

Fresh Air: A beautiful way to keep your indoor air feeling clean and tropical.

Plant Lore: Her name "Dragon" refers to the textured, scale-like appearance of her dark foliage.
