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 MARBLE MINT VARIEGATED
Alocasia Dragon Scale Marble Mint: Rare Mint Variegated Collector's Specimen
Looking for the Alocasia Dragon Scale Marble Mint? This exceptionally rare cultivar combines the quilted, reptilian foliage of Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale' with mint-variegated marbling that turns each leaf into a piece of living art. A standout addition for serious aroid collectors, this specimen is genuinely difficult to source in the UK.
A Highly Sought-After Variegation
The Dragon Scale Marble Mint expresses sectoral mint and cream variegation across its signature embossed leaves, giving each plant a marbled appearance no two specimens share. The waxy, deeply textured surface, reminiscent of dragon hide, only amplifies the contrast between the deep green base and the pale mint sectors. As with all chimeric variegated Alocasia, expression can shift between leaves, which is part of the appeal for collectors who enjoy watching new growth unfurl.
Care and Establishment
Dragon Scale is at its best in bright, indirect light with consistent humidity above 60%. Newly arrived juveniles benefit from a stable environment and a gentle balanced feed programme during active growth. Our Corm size can be established for reliable propagation, while the Juvenile and Mature sizes arrive ready to grow on.
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.
