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.

Very pleased.
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.
