The Alocasia ‘Golden Dragon’ is one of those plants that doesn’t just sit in a pot — it struts. With its large, dragon-scale leaves flecked with golden-green variegation, this plant has a bold, almost prehistoric vibe. It’s a statement piece that looks like it should be guarding treasure in some forgotten temple… instead, it’s guarding your living room aesthetic.
Sought after by collectors worldwide, ‘Golden Dragon’ is a rare Alocasia hybrid that brings instant drama and jungle energy to your space. Each leaf is unique, painted with golden streaks that shimmer under the right light. This isn’t a shy plant — it’s a conversation starter.
Care Notes:
Light: Bright, indirect light (it loves warmth, but avoid harsh sun).
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy — think damp jungle floor, not swamp.
Humidity: High humidity keeps those dragon scales looking sharp.
Tip: Let it grow big and proud — this one likes room to stretch.

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.
