Dark, dramatic, and unlike anything else on the shelf, the Alocasia Dragon's Breath lives up to its fierce name. Its deep, velvety leaves are a rich near-black green with a striking metallic sheen and boldly contrasting light veining that gives each leaf an almost otherworldly quality. Upright and architectural, this is a plant that commands the room — a true centerpiece for anyone who wants their plant collection to make a statement.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Good light enhances the deep color and sheen of the leaves. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage, and avoid very low light, which will slow growth significantly.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season but never soggy. Allow the top inch to dry out between waterings and reduce watering in fall and winter when growth slows. Well-draining soil and a pot with drainage holes are essential.
Humidity: Alocasias love humidity — this one is no exception. Average indoor humidity will do, but it will truly thrive with extra moisture in the air. A humidifier, pebble tray, or bright bathroom spot all work well.
Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temps between 65–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, and temperatures below 60°F.
Feeding: Fertilize once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Consistent feeding supports the large, lush leaves this plant is capable of producing.
Tips: Alocasias can go dormant in winter, dropping some or all of their leaves — don't panic! Reduce watering, keep it warm, and new growth will emerge when conditions improve in spring.
A bold, breathtaking plant for those who aren't afraid to go dramatic. Stop in and see it in person — photos don't do it justice.
Sold in a 6" landscape pot — clear plastic liner not included.
