Alocasia 'Dragons Breath'

Alocasia Dragons Breath is a bold, silvery-blue Alocasia that commands attention from across a room. Its pointed, upright leaves have a cool, silvery-blue tone with a slightly waxy surface that gives the plant an almost otherworldly, metallic quality. It grows large with age into a genuinely impressive statement piece that fills a corner with unmistakable tropical presence.

Good for beginners? It requires more attention than beginner plants. Alocasia prefers bright indirect light, consistent moisture, and higher humidity. With the right conditions it grows impressively large and rewards patient growers beautifully.

Safe for cats and dogs? Alocasia is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: Bright indirect light keeps the silvery-blue tone most vivid and encourages the largest, most dramatic leaves. It tolerates medium light but the silver quality becomes less defined. Avoid direct sun which can bleach the distinctive coloring.

Care at a glance: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Well-draining soil is important. High humidity keeps leaves healthy. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Keep above 60°F at all times.
