What collectors say
Genus
Baginda
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
'BAGINDA' DRAGON SCALE AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia Baginda Dragon Scale Aurea: Rare Golden Scale-Textured Houseplant
Looking for scale-like foliage with golden variegation? The Alocasia Baginda Dragon Scale Aurea carries textured leaves marked with golden-yellow variegation against a deep green ground, and each leaf breaks differently, so no two specimens are alike.
Why Plant Collectors Prize Dragon Scale Aurea
This rare variegated cultivar pairs the textured foliage of the standard Dragon Scale with golden variegation. The luminous yellow sections fall differently on every leaf, and the contrast between the golden patches and the deep green base adds a further dimension to the familiar scale-like surface.
A Distinct Statement for Rare Plant Collections
Suited to collectors after something genuinely uncommon, this variegated form holds the same manageable 2 to 3 feet mature size while adding golden variegation. The Dragon Scale Aurea's textured foliage and shifting patterns mean each leaf reads differently from the last.
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.
