This is the rarest variegated expression of the iconic \u003cem\u003eAlocasia baginda\u003c\/em\u003e 'Dragon Scale', a single cultivar carrying three variegation types at once: chimeric albo, aurea, and pink sectoring across its signature quilted, reptilian foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Holy Grail of Dragon Scale Variegation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Dragon Scale' is already a beloved cultivar for its embossed, scaly leaf surface that reads almost like dragon hide. The Tri-Colour expression layers cream and white albo sectors, golden-yellow aurea sectoring, and occasional pink tones across that signature texture. The albo and pink elements are chimeric and can shift between leaves; aurea is more stable. Each leaf is a one-off, and reversion is always a possibility with the more unstable chimeric sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Establishment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon Scale prefers bright, indirect light, enough to drive aurea and pink expression without scorching the more delicate albo sectors. Humidity above 60% and a chunky, well-draining aroid mix are essential. A gentle balanced feed programme during active growth supports leaf production and pigment stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll plants are grown in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/fluval-stratum-non-bio\"\u003eFluval Stratum\u003c\/a\u003e, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thealocasiacompany.co.uk\/products\/corm-keeper-3d-printer-rack\"\u003eCorm Keeper\u003c\/a\u003e stand.
