Alocasia 'Dragons Breath' (Alocasia heterophylla)
$39.00
Smoke made of leaves. Alocasia Dragons Breath (Alocasia heterophylla) ripples long silver blue foliage that moves like something exhaled rather than grown.
An uncommon species with unusual coloring, it brings a cool toned, almost moonlit presence to a warm bright room.
Alocasia Dragons Breath care
- Light: Bright dappled light keeps the silver haze visible.
- Water: Gentle steady moisture, backing off in the cool season.
- Placement: Sheltered from drafts that tear soft leaves.
- Pets: Pets should skip this one, toxic if ingested.
- Growth: Elegant arcs to a couple of feet.
How do you keep large Alocasia leaves from tearing?
Stable placement is most of it: away from doorways, fans, and busy elbows. Good humidity keeps leaf tissue supple, and a discreet stake can support any leaf that leans into traffic.
