Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath'

Alocasia 'Dragon’s Breath' Indoor Care Guide🔥

Alocasia 'Dragon’s Breath' is a bold and dramatic plant with large, arrowhead-shaped leaves and deep veins that give it a fierce, otherworldly vibe. Like most alocasias, it prefers bright, indirect light—too much direct sun can scorch the foliage, while low light will slow its growth and dull its color. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, being careful not to let it sit in soggy conditions.

For best results, pot it in FoxFarm’s Happy Frog® Potting Soil, which provides rich nutrients and excellent drainage, helping to prevent root rot. This variety craves high humidity, ideally 60–80%, and prefers warm, stable temperatures above 65°F. If your space is dry, use a humidifier or place it in a grow tent or greenhouse cabinet.

During spring and summer, feed it monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Regularly inspect the foliage for signs of spider mites or other pests, especially under the leaves.

With its fiery presence and bold structure, Dragon’s Breath makes a powerful statement—perfect for those who love rare, eye-catching plants with attitude.
