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.
This is my first time ordering from here, but the prices are great! My plant came with 5 huge leaves. Unfortunately three of them yellowed and died within a few days but I anticipate many will grow back.
I'm super pleased with this Dragon Scale!
It's a stunner
Plants arrived in great shape.
The plant came in not great condition yellowing leaves and droopy. I was expecting something more similar to the image above but i got different looking leaves and not the same color
