Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ (Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale’) The Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is a legendary treasure among rare plant collectors, admired for its thick, jade-green leaves etched with deep emerald veining and a textured, scale-like surface that shimmers with mythical allure. True to its name, this striking tropical beauty resembles the hide of a dragon—powerful, intricate, and unforgettable.
Compact and upright in form, ‘Dragon Scale’ brings bold, sculptural elegance to shelves, tabletops, or curated plant collections. Richer and moodier than its silvery cousin, the Silver Dragon, it adds dramatic depth and sophistication to any display.
Visually captivating yet refreshingly low-maintenance, the Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is a must-have for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking rare, statement-making foliage.
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
