Alocasia baginda Dragon Scale is a jewel Alocasia, which means it's a miniature elephant ear plant.
Alocasia Dragon Scale has thick green foliage with dark veins. The underside of the leaves have red veining.
Make sure your Alocasia Dragon Scale is in a well draining soil rich that is rich in organic matter. These plants prefer to dry out between watering.
This species grow very similar to another miniature elephant ear, Alocasia Silver Dragon.
Additional information:
Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia.
There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side.
Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self reproduce from corms.
Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period.

Bigger than expected and beautiful!
Absolutely stunning plant! Came in perfect condition and well packaged.
My 4" Alocasia Dragon Scale showed up on December 13th to East TN, in perfect condition. I paid for the heat pack/winter shipping protection, and I'm glad I did. Although my temps were not terrible that week of it being shipped, I didn't want to take chances.
Astrid was quarantined from the others for a week, just to make sure all was good and she had a chance to acclimate to the first area of the house. She was lacking the correct level of light, hence the yellowing tips, but that has stopped the second I put her under the grow lights. I've left her be in her nursery pot and coco coir that she is planted in, and just this week she has produced a new leaf shoot!! I'd say Astrid is very happy in my home. :)
Extremely happy with Canopy Plant Co! I will be a repeat customer, for sure.
As always, packing/shipping was amazing. The plant arrived in great condition and more leaves than I expected. Wish I ordered 2 now.
The dragon scale alocasia has become one of my favorite alocasias. She was packaged perfectly and has done really well acclimating to our home. She now has 10 leaves and each new one looks better than the last.
Plant Canopy has the best plants, does fantastic shipping and customer service is so good it’s like a decades old throwback.
This guy is so cute! Love him.
I have to stop touching the leaves so much, she’s gonna get sick of me. Healthy, beautiful plant!
I really picked this plant because of the leaves and the color. When it came in the mail I wasn’t disappointed. It looks exactly like the picture and already had new leaves coming in.
Another beautiful, healthy, damage free plant!! Canopy never disappoints!!!
As always packaging is terrific, ensuring the safety of my new baby. My dragon scale, Rhaegal, joined the fam and is very healthy and beautiful.

Just started dabbling with alocasia so of course I started with all the dragon named plants lol
Big full plant
Love it. It came looking beautiful and healthy.
Thank you! We're so happy to hear your plant arrived looking beautiful and healthy. Enjoy your new green companion!
This plant is quite small and three of the leaves were already dead and yellow. Another leaf dies within a week. But at this time what is left seems to be getting healthier. I'm crossing my fingers she makes it.
Thank you for your honest feedback! It’s not uncommon for plants to shed a few leaves after shipping as they adjust to their new home. We're glad to hear it's starting to bounce back — with a little time and care, we’re confident she’ll thrive!
As an alocasia collector and enthusiast this plant, the one I recieved, checked ALL the boxes! Came in so very dense, lush, and with so much gorgeous and undamaged foliage! I'm highly impressed and couldn't be happier! This is definitely one of my all time faves; a total staple in my collection! ♡
