Fire Forged Foliage Dark, intense, and unapologetically dramatic — Alocasia Dragon Breath earns its name with foliage that looks scorched, metallic, and alive. Each leaf emerges with deep, smoky tones before maturing into rich charcoal greens, accented by pronounced veins and a heavy, almost armoured texture.

The surface has a subtle sheen, catching light like embers under ash. This is not a soft Alocasia — Dragon Breath is bold, moody, and powerful, with a presence that instantly anchors any rare plant collection.

With its upright growth habit and thick petioles, this species commands attention without needing size. Every leaf feels intentional — sculpted rather than grown.

🔥 Why Collectors Love It:
Dragon Breath delivers raw attitude. The contrast between its dark foliage and structural veins gives it a mythical, almost prehistoric look. It’s one of those plants that feels alive in the room — intense, grounded, and quietly intimidating in the best way.

✨ Quick Care Tips:
💧 Water: Keep evenly moist; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Never let it sit soggy.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light enhances colour depth and leaf strength. Avoid harsh direct sun.
🌫 Humidity: Prefers 60%+ — stable humidity keeps leaves thick and flawless.
🌡 Temps: Thrives in warm conditions above 18 °C. Cold stress shows quickly.
🪴 Soil: Chunky, fast-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and coco or sphagnum for airflow.

🌱 NPG Tip:
Dragon Breath rewards consistency. Stable warmth, even moisture, and good airflow will keep leaves dense and dramatic. Let it establish before upsizing pots — stress dulls colour, while patience brings out its full fire-breathing potential.
