Care Tips for Alocasia ‘Pink Dragon’
1.Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may cause them to lose their vibrant color.
2.Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. During winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.
3.Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60% or more). Mist regularly, place near a humidifier, or use a pebble tray to maintain moisture levels.
4.Temperature: Loves warmth! Ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from drafts and cold temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
5.Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration.
6.Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Pause feeding during fall and winter.
7.Pet Safety:Toxic if ingested by pets or humans due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of curious paws and little hands.
Note: Alocasias may occasionally go dormant in winter, causing leaf drop. This is normal—reduce watering and keep warm until new growth appears in spring.
With its striking appearance and relatively easy care, the Alocasia ‘Pink Dragon’ is sure to become a favorite in your collection! 🌿💕
