The Alocasia Dragon Scale mint variegated is a rare variety of the Alocasia Baginda. It's beautiful variegation makes every leaf an exciting surprise.

Due to the light, mint-toned variegation the Alocasia Dragon Scale mint requires birght, indirect light. Exposing it to direct light can cause sunburn to the leaves and it can cause the variegation to revert.

Alocasias like their top 2-5 centimeters (or 25%) of soil to dry out before watering it again. They like their soil to stay moist, but sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots.

The Alocasia Dragon Scale mint variegated will thrive in a roomhumidity between 60-80% and a consistent roomtemperture between 18°C and 29°C.

During the growing season (spring and summer) the plant would appreciate to be fed with a (liquid) fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. During the winter dormancy period the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).

As we are working with living plants we do not want them to get stuck in the mail for too long. With the delivery time in mind we choose to dispatch orders within the Netherlands from Monday to Thursday, orders to Belgium will be dispatched from Monday to Wednesday and orders to Germany and France will be dispatched on Monday only. This way we can make sure the plants will get to you in the best condition possible.

We use recyclable packaging (cardboard) and materials made from recycled materials (cushion filling from recycled PET-bottles). We like to use as minimal packaging materials as possible to help reduce waste.

Here at Leafy Family we like to give our customers the opportunity to choose the plant they like as we all have different preferences about the looks of our plants. That's why we list every single plant individually. Doing this it also requires us to take pictures of all individual plants. As plants are living, natural products they can grow or have some other kind of change during the time it is listed on our website. Therefore it can occur that the plant you see in the picture will arrive slightly different. If the plant has significant growth or changes we will update the pictures in the listing.
