Light: Medium - Bright

Provide bright, indirect light for your Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint. It thrives in medium to bright light conditions but can tolerate lower light levels. Ensure it receives consistent, gentle light throughout the day to support healthy growth.

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window where it receives filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room without direct exposure to the sun.

Water: When half dry

Keep the soil consistently moist but not water logged. Water your Alocasia Dragon Scale when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically once a week. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Adjust watering frequency based on environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Humidity: High

Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint thrives in high humidity environments. Maintain humidity levels between 60-80% to mimic its natural habitat. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity. Regular misting can also help maintain humidity levels around the plant.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs, and other animals to prevent accidental consumption. Consider placing it in areas inaccessible to pets or using deterrents to discourage chewing or nibbling.

Pro Tip

Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Care: To mimic its natural habitat and promote optimal growth, create a humid microclimate by grouping your Alocasia Dragon Scale with other houseplants. As nearby plants transpire, they release moisture into the air, increasing humidity levels around your Alocasia.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
