Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale’ Albo Variegated | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Not pet-safe
Summary: The Albo Variegated Dragon Scale is a breathtaking miniature treasure, combining the dramatic, dragon-like texture of emerald leaves with enchanting white and cream variegation. Perfect for collectors who want a living piece of botanical art in their European home.
This Alocasia thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch its delicate variegated leaves, while too little light may reduce its beautiful white marbling. Perfect near east- or north-facing windows in European apartments.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings. High humidity (60–80%) is essential—use a pebble tray or humidifier to mimic its tropical origins, especially during dry German winters.
Plant in a well-draining, airy mix rich in organic matter. A blend of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works beautifully. Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
Not safe for pets. Keep away from cats, dogs, and curious little hands.
As a baby plant, it will grow steadily into a medium-sized jewel with proper care. Propagation is best done by division of rhizomes during repotting. Leaves will unfurl one by one, rewarding your patience with striking variegation.
During winter, growth may slow or pause—reduce watering but maintain humidity. In spring and summer, feed monthly with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer to support lush foliage.
Native to Borneo, Alocasia baginda is celebrated for its armored, scale-like leaves that inspired the name “Dragon Scale.” The albo variegated form is exceptionally rare, adding creamy marbling that collectors worldwide prize. Grown carefully in the EU, this baby plant arrives healthy and ready to thrive in your home.

My experience at plant circle: I ordered 5 plants, alocasia to Slovenia, but Loco was sold out, they informed me about this and gave me the choice of another plant or a refund, my decision is to get another Frydek plant. The shipment of plants arrived carefully packaged without damage. But the alocasia was not in the package, at first I was disappointed, but the next day I was surprised, DPD delivered and made up for my Frydek plant. I received a notification from plant circle that they forgot to send it in the first shipment and sent it back without any additional costs. plant circle is one of the best indoor plant stores, you deserve a rating of 10 not just 5. Thank you.
Diese Alocasia gefällt mir bis jetzt am besten. Sie hatte kaum Versandstress und sieht sehr schön aus.
Alles perfekt
