Alocasia Pink Dragon variegated

Key Care Requirements

Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, which enhances the silvery color of the leaves. Direct sun will burn the leaves.

Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top 1–2 inches to dry between waterings.

Humidity & Temperature:

Prefers high humidity (60 - 80%) but can adapt to average household levels. Thrives in temperatures of 18 - 30°C

Soil & Potting:

Use a well-draining, chunky mix, such as a combination of coco husk, orchid bark, perlite, and charcoal.

Fertilizer:

Fertilize every 4 - 6 weeks during the spring and summer growing season

Maintenance:

Gently wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.

Pests: Keep an eye out for spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.

Dormancy:

Alocasias may go dormant in winter; if so, significantly reduce watering and stop fertilizing until spring.
