{"product_id":"alocasia-baginda-dragon-scale","title":"Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale'","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePronounced sculpted leaves in a compact jewel Alocasia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale' has thick, deeply bullate leaves that form a raised, scale‑like surface: silvery‑green to pale‑grey interveinal areas sit between dark, sharply defined veins. The foliage is noticeably coriaceous (leathery) and the plant holds an upright, architectural silhouette that reads strong even at a small size. Compared with Alocasia baginda 'Silver Dragon', this cultivar usually shows greyer‑green bullation and higher vein contrast rather than a paler silvery tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung leaves are often flatter and paler; individual leaves gain more pronounced texture, sheen and vein contrast as they mature. The plant grows from a central crown and forms a compact, upright clump — it does not climb or trail. Growth can slow in darker months, with the most dramatic bullation appearing on mature summer leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwners should expect slightly higher attention than with very easy houseplants: steady warmth, bright indirect light and moderate‑to‑high humidity bring out the best contrast, while inconsistent watering or prolonged wet soil can cause yellowing or soft stems. Take care where pets or children are present — the plant is toxic if ingested — and be alert for spider mites or thrips in warm, dry conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Alocasia sits well on a bright shelf, stand or side table with good airflow. Choose the Baby option as a small‑shelf grow‑on to watch texture develop; the Medium gives broader foliage and a fuller display for greater visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Baby - P6 H12","offer_id":54854648594700,"sku":"MM-LUN33","price":9.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium - P12 H25","offer_id":54854648627468,"sku":"MM-MOS41","price":19.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/alocasia-baginda-dragon-scale-variant-1.jpg?v=1783164485","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/alocasia-baginda-dragon-scale","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
