Alocasia "Pink Dragon"
With its broad leaves and deep veins looking like a dragon’s scale, the undersides of the leaves being burgundy, and the stems being a beautiful shade of pink, this species is rightfully made as Alocasia Pink Dragon. The plant is not just beautiful, but it is also very straightforward in terms of its care. Such a unique-looking plant is only so rarely found to be so low-maintenance.
Basic Care
Alocasia Pink Dragon is a lenient plant in terms of sunlight. It can tolerate full and partial shade and, thus, grows well indoors. Direct sunlight exposure is a no-no! The leaves are prone to getting sunburnt and will start to look dull if out directly under the sun for extended hours. It is better to put the Alocasia in a nicely lit room or under fluorescent growing lights. If you want to place it near a window, west-facing ones would be best suitable.
These plants grow well at room temperatures. The general range would be 60 to 85 °F. Because of their tropical growing preferences, they always thrive in warmer environments. So, make sure you keep the plant in a less frosty spot during the winter season. Pink Dragon loves moisture near its roots and around its leaves. An above-average level of humidity is required for these plants to grow to their maximum size. To make this happen, you can use humidifiers, misting sprays, or a pebble-tray.
