Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ – The Mythical Creature of the Houseplant World
If Mother Nature ever designed a plant while bingeing fantasy epics, this would be it. The Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is pure magic—its thick, textured leaves look and feel like something lifted straight from a dragon’s back. Deep green veining etched into silvery emerald foliage gives it an otherworldly, armoured vibe that demands attention.
Despite its fantasy-level looks, it’s surprisingly down-to-earth. It loves bright, indirect light, high humidity, and a well-draining substrate (no soggy roots or it throws a tantrum). Treat it like royalty, and it will reward you with leaf after legendary leaf.
This isn’t just a plant—it’s a living artefact. A centrepiece. A statement. A silent beast watching over your jungle.
Perfect for: Fantasy lovers, foliage collectors, and those ready to level up to next-tier plant parenthood.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendrons:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
