Alocasia Dragons Breath

Smoke made of leaves. Alocasia Dragons Breath (Alocasia heterophylla), also written Dragon's Breath, brings long, rippling, silver-blue foliage to a warm, bright room. Its narrow leaves give it a different silhouette from the rounded, heavily textured leaves of Silver Dragon.

This tropical indoor plant suits a plant lover who can provide bright indirect light, warmth, and attentive watering. Choose your pot size using the options above; leaf shape, color, fullness, and plant size naturally vary from the photographs.

Alocasia Dragons Breath care

• Light: Choose bright indirect light, sheltered from harsh direct sun.
• Water: Check the soil rather than following a fixed schedule. Let the surface begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Empty the saucer; roots should not sit in water.
• Soil: Use a well-draining houseplant mix and a pot with drainage holes.
• Placement: Keep it warm and away from cold drafts, heaters, and air-conditioning vents. It appreciates humid air.
• Seasonal care: Growth may slow in cooler months. Check moisture before watering and reduce watering as the plant uses less water.
• Pets and children: Alocasia is harmful if eaten. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Questions about Dragon's Breath

Is Dragons Breath the same as Silver Dragon?

No. Our Dragons Breath is listed as Alocasia heterophylla; our Alocasia Silver Dragon is Alocasia baginda. Choose Dragons Breath for elongated, rippled foliage or Silver Dragon for broader leaves with pronounced dark veining.

Can it grow in a low-light room?

Bright indirect light is the better choice for this Alocasia. If your room is dim, compare the plants in our houseplant collection and choose one suited to your actual light.

What can I choose if Dragons Breath is sold out?
