DRAGON SCALE ALBO VARIEGATED
A dormant corm rather than a growing plant. It arrives in Fluval Stratum, ready to sprout given warmth and humidity. Rooting and first leaves take time, and patience is part of it.

What collectors say
Care
Light. Bright, indirect light. Variegated tissue carries less chlorophyll and scorches more easily than green, so filter strong sun.
Water and humidity. Keep the substrate evenly moist, never wet. Aim for 60% humidity or higher.
Feeding. A balanced feed programme through spring and summer; ease off in winter.
Dormancy. An Alocasia that drops its leaves in the cold is usually resting, not dead. Keep it warm and barely moist and it will push again.
Delivery and arrival
Plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday only, so they never sit in a depot over a weekend. Every order is sent with a heat pack and packed plastic-free.
Free UK delivery on orders over £75. Unpack on arrival and give your plant a few days of steady conditions to acclimatise.
Every plant is covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. If there's a problem, email sales@thealocasiacompany.co.uk within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Please don't repot in those first 7 days, as repotting voids the guarantee.
Pet safety
Like all aroids, this plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and children.
About this cultivar
DRAGON SCALE ALBO VARIEGATED
Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo: Rare White Variegated Textured Houseplant
A fusion of texture and white variegation. The Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo carries highly prized white variegation that contrasts sharply against the signature distinctively textured, dragon scale-like leaves.
Why Collectors Value Dragon Scale Albo
This rare variegated Alocasia cultivar shows white patches and sections that contrast with the Dragon Scale's deep green colouration, giving a specimen where each plant displays its own variegation pattern. The textured foliage combined with Albo variegation makes this an exceptional addition to a serious collection.
A Statement Plant for Advanced Growers
Suited to experienced Alocasia collectors, this cultivar keeps the same high humidity requirements as the standard Dragon Scale while asking for slightly more careful light management because of the chlorophyll-free white sections. The combination of the scale-like texture with rare white variegation makes this collector's houseplant a long-term keeper in any tropical plant collection.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
