Alocasia Dragon Scale | Established Starter Plant | 4" Nursery Pot

🌿 Wyrd Plant Co. Care Card

🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage. Consistent bright light encourages healthy growth and vibrant leaf texture.

💧 Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1 inch of soil begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain completely.

💦 Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60% or higher). Additional humidity will help produce larger leaves and reduce browning around the edges.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 65 and 85°F (18 to 29°C). Protect from temperatures below 60°F and avoid cold drafts.

🌱 Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix containing potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and horticultural charcoal.

🌿 Fertilizer: Feed every 2 to 4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🐾 Pet Safety: Not considered pet safe if ingested. Keep away from pets and small children.

🌎 Difficulty: Moderate
