Alocasia Dragon Scale Variegated: a textured-leaved Alocasia baginda selection. For professional nursery and wholesale enquiries through ORCHISTRA, with supply specifications confirmed per order.
Alocasia Dragon Scale Variegated (Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale' variegated) belongs to Araceae. Alocasia baginda is a compact aroid valued for its thick, strongly textured leaves. The raised areas between darker veins create a scale-like surface.
This is the variegated Dragon Scale entry. Leaf relief is a species-related feature, while the pale sectors are assessed separately as variegation.

Quality assurance
Commercial grading focuses on correct identity, a viable growing point, sound tissue and roots appropriate to the supplied stage.

Neither an identical pattern on every leaf nor permanent stability is implied.

Growing information
Bright, filtered light; avoid harsh direct sun on young foliage.
Warm, stable conditions; protect young plants from cold draughts and frost.
Moderate to high humidity with gentle air movement; protect newly transferred plants from rapid drying.
Airy, well-drained potting substrate with some moisture retention. Adjust particle size to the root system and container; avoid persistent saturation.
If supplied in vitro, acclimatize gradually after removal from the culture vessel, initially limiting water loss and increasing ventilation as roots and new leaves become functional. Keep the substrate moist, not waterlogged; follow the batch-specific transfer instructions. Thick-leaved jewel Alocasias still need aerated roots. Do not interpret high air humidity as a need for constantly saturated potting media.
