Your dragon scale will be easy to care for and beautiful to look at, making it ideal for both tabletops and outdoor locations.
Plant Care
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: Feed your dragon scale every 2-4 weeks using ordinary plant fertiliser. Don’t over-fertilize your plants. Alocasia should be repotted once a year in a bigger container with new soil. Propagation: Rhizomes discovered underground can be used to propagate the Alocasia plant. The clipped rhizome piece can be planted individually to develop a new plant.
