Alocasia Dragons Breath is an uncommon elephant ear variety that sports elongated leaves with a silvery blue hue. The leaf sinus is dramatic and well defined.
Once mature, the leaves will get quite large -- some can grow as long as 2-3 feet!
Caring for your new Alocasia is relatively simple as Alocasia Dragons Breath prefers a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out between watering to ensure that it remains happy and healthy. Give it bright indirect light.
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.
Healthy and gorgeous - couldn’t as for more!
4” Alocasia Dragons Breath
Bought a 4inch Dragons Breath and it was shipped out the same day! Pretty sure I got it within 3-4 days after buying and when the plant arrived it was shipped great along with multiple plants in the pot I did repot it after about a week because the substrate that works for a greenhouse doesn’t work well for my home and there was also many corms in the pot as well.. very pleased with the plant I got and the price!
My plant came with TEN CORMS. Let me repeat, 10 corms!!! There were also multiple plants in the same pot. I split them up and re-potted them.
So well packaged and plant is doing great so far!
