🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. An east-facing window or a spot with filtered light is ideal.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. High humidity (60% or above) is essential; consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, airy mix—combine peat, perlite, and orchid bark for optimal results. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
⚠️ Not pet-safe: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Grows from rhizomes and can reach up to 90–120 cm in height. Propagate by dividing offsets during repotting in spring or early summer.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
During winter dormancy, reduce watering and maintain warmth. Resume regular care as new growth appears in spring.
🐛 Common Issues
Yellowing leaves: Often due to overwatering or low humidity.
Brown leaf tips: Indicative of dry air; increase humidity levels.
Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs; treat promptly if detected.
🧬 Botanical Background
Native to the limestone-rich regions of the Philippines, Alocasia heterophylla is part of the Araceae family. Its 'Dragon’s Breath' variety is prized for its distinctive foliage and compact form, making it a standout addition to any plant collection.
