Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint is a rare and highly desirable form of Alocasia baginda, prized for its thick, textured leaves in cool mint-green tones. This cultivar retains the signature “dragon scale” appearance — with raised, armour-like venation — but with a softer, paler colour palette than the standard green form.

The result is a compact, sculptural plant with exceptional texture and a refined, collector-level aesthetic.


🌱 Foliage

  • Thick, heavily textured leaves

  • Pale mint to silvery green surface

  • Deep, dark green veining creating a scaled effect

  • Shield-shaped form with slightly cupped edges

  • Upright, compact growth habit

The raised venation gives the leaves a three-dimensional, reptilian texture that becomes more pronounced as the plant matures.


📏 Growth & Size

  • Typical indoor height: 30–50 cm

  • Compact and clump-forming

  • Moderate growth in warm, stable conditions

Its manageable size makes it ideal for shelves, desks or plant cabinets.


🌤️ Position & Light

  • Thrives in bright, indirect light

  • Avoid direct sunlight

  • Too little light may dull the mint colouring

Consistent, bright conditions help maintain strong contrast and compact growth.


💧 Watering

  • Keep compost lightly moist but never waterlogged

  • Allow the top few centimetres to dry between waterings

  • Reduce watering during cooler months

  • Ensure excellent drainage

A chunky, well-draining aroid mix is recommended.


🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal range: 18–26°C

  • Avoid temperatures below 15°C

  • Prefers humidity above 60%

Stable warmth and humidity help prevent leaf crisping and support strong growth.


🌿 Care Notes

  • May shed older leaves when adjusting to new environments

  • Feed monthly during spring and summer

  • Avoid frequent repositioning
