Alocasia Dragons Breath is an uncommon elephant ear variety that sports elongated leaves. 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.
My plant arrived and besides one small leaf that was damaged it was perfect! Already had two new leaves coming out, and two corms that I was able to propagate. Extremely happy!
Such an impressive plant! It has sprouted so many babies since I received it! Arrived healthy and within days of ordering.
Beautiful and shipped in excellent packaging
This is such a fun and unique alocasia. Arrived safely packaged and healthy.
Plant was better looking then I expected, packing was perfect too. I’m in love with my order. No disappointments here.
PS: way bigger than I thought was going to 😀👍🏽
