🌿 Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated – Metallic Texture with Soft Mint Contrast

A mythical icon made even rarer — Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated combines one of the most coveted textures in the aroid world with delicate mint-toned variegation. The signature metallic, scale-like foliage shimmers in silvery green tones, layered with soft splashes of mint, cream, and pale green that make each leaf feel like a living jewel.

Compact and highly detailed, this jewel Alocasia delivers both texture and colour in a refined, collector-focused package. As it matures, the scale pattern becomes more pronounced while the mint expression develops greater depth and variation across the foliage.

✨ Quick Care Tips:
💧 Water: Grown in pon in a self-watering pot, this plant prefers a consistent but controlled moisture supply. Keep a small amount of water in the reservoir and avoid overfilling the reservoir so the bottom isn’t sitting in water.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain strong mint variegation and healthy texture. Avoid harsh direct sun.
🌫 Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity for optimal leaf quality and steady growth.
🌡 Temps: Thrives between 20–28 °C. Sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
🪴 Soil: Supplied in a self-watering pot using pon for consistent moisture and strong root development. Pon provides stable hydration while maintaining airflow around the roots. Alternatively, performs exceptionally well in our NPG Alocasia Formula, designed to provide the ideal balance of airflow, moisture retention, and structure for healthy root growth. A free-draining, airy aroid mix with bark and perlite can also be used.

🌱 NPG Tip:
This is a slow but rewarding grower — avoid rushing it. Stable warmth, humidity, and consistent moisture will enhance both the metallic texture and soft mint expression as it matures.
