Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint #8

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).
