Alocasia Pink Dragon

Alocasia Pink Dragon (Alocasia 'Pink Dragon')

The Pink Dragon earns its name the moment you see it. Its large, oval leaves are a deep, glossy green with dramatically prominent veining — but it's the stems that truly set it apart. Long, upright petioles in a striking pale pink-to-silver tone give the plant an otherworldly, almost sculptural quality, like something from a fantasy garden. It grows in a bold, upright clump and makes an immediate statement in any room it inhabits.

Why You'll Love It

• Striking pink-silver stems — the pale, almost iridescent petioles are the plant's signature feature; unlike anything else in the Alocasia family
• Large, glossy deep green leaves — bold, oval foliage with prominent veining that contrasts beautifully against the pale stems
• Upright, architectural habit — grows in a tall, dramatic clump that commands attention as a floor or statement plant
• Collector appeal — a genuinely distinctive variety that stands out even in a well-curated plant collection

Care at a Glance

• Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves
• Water: Allow the top 1–2" of soil to dry between waterings; Alocasias are prone to root rot if overwatered
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+); use a humidifier for best results
• Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with perlite and orchid bark
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); very sensitive to cold — keep away from drafts
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer

Ships healthy in a nursery pot. Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Sensitive to cold — protect during shipping in cooler months.
