Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale’ Baby | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Pet-toxic
Summary: Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ Baby enchants with its sculpted, silvery-green leaves textured like mystical dragon scales—perfect for terrariums or adding rare beauty to small spaces.
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Ideal for glass domes, terrariums, or bright shaded spots on your plant shelf.
Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Loves high humidity (60–80%); mist daily or place near a humidifier to prevent crisp edges and maintain vibrant texture.
Plant in a well-draining, chunky aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir to mimic its native rainforest conditions. Repot gently every 1–2 years in spring if roots outgrow the baby pot.
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
Slow to moderate grower. Propagate by separating offsets during repotting in spring once they develop their own roots.
Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows, but maintain high humidity year-round. Wipe leaves gently to keep their scales shining and dust-free.
Prone to spider mites and thrips in dry conditions. Increase humidity and inspect regularly; treat with neem oil if needed. Yellowing may indicate overwatering or cold drafts.
Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale’ is native to Borneo’s tropical rainforests and belongs to the Araceae family. Its dramatic, scale-like leaves make it one of the most prized Alocasias among collectors worldwide.

Very interesting white leaves. Came with some yellowish ones probably from travelling. I can understand that plants with rare colours on their leaves may be more complicated to remain as received.
Beautiful colours.. loved it!
My whole order was better than expected and the shipment to Finland was fast! Will be supporting you from now on!
