Alocasia 'Pink Dragon'
Strong, dark green, glossy leaves with ridged cream veining make this houseplant a focal point of any room. The pink stems provide contrast and a deep purple colouring is hidden on the underside of the leaves. Keep away from draughts.
- Other names: Elephant Ear
- Useful to know: Not safe for pets, toxic if ingested. Alocasia can go dormant over winter and lose leaves
- Eventual height: Can grow up to 110cm
- Origins: Tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia
Alocasia Care Sheet
Light: Needs bright but indirect light, as strong full sun will scorch the foliage. The leaves turn toward the light so rotate the plant to prevent it leaning
Water: Requires regular watering to keep the soil moist, but not saturated. As a rainforest plant it is used to growing in damp conditions. Browning leaf edges are a sign of underwatering, and water droplets on the leaf tips indicate the plant sweating out excess moisture, called guttation. Reduce watering if this occurs
Soil/Nutrition: Well-draining houseplant compost mix, feed monthly in spring and summer
Humidity: Enjoys regular misting, or a pebble tray to replicate the humid rainforest environment
Pruning and propagation: Dust the leaves to help keep the plant in top condition. Trim off faded leaves to keep neat. Can be propagated by rhizome division of the corms in spring and summer
Experience Level: Moderate
