To care for an Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated, provide bright, indirect light and high humidity. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, using a well-draining, fertile soil mix. Fertilize monthly during the growing season and reduce feeding in winter, while also wiping the leaves periodically to keep them clean.
Light
- Bright, indirect light: Place the plant near a window that receives plenty of light but avoid direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves. An east-facing window or a south-facing window with a sheer curtain is often ideal.
Watering
- Keep soil moist: Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot.
- Allow soil to dry slightly: Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.
- Reduce watering in winter: Water less frequently during the dormant winter months.
