Alocasia Pink Dragon
Pink Dragon Alocasia 🌿💕 is loved for its dramatic dark green leaves, bold pale veining, and blush-toned stems that give it a tropical look with a little extra personality. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage stays crisp and the pink stems show best without harsh sun stressing the leaves. This plant is generally manageable, but it does best with steady warmth, lightly moist soil, and a bit of humidity rather than a dry neglect-heavy routine. Pro tip: if the leaf edges start crisping or a leaf drops suddenly, check for dry air, cold drafts, or soggy soil before changing too much at once 💧.

Plant arrived in excellent condition and also arrived with 4 corms on top of the soil! Was packaged very well and shipping was fast! Absolutely love this and will buy more from this seller!
The plant arrived quickly and in great condition.
I love my new Alocasia Pink Dragon! The leaves were glistening, and it even has a few corms poking up.
It arrived in a plant shipping box w/ air holes, packing materials over the medium, and a plastic bag over that. The medium was slightly damp. The box was slightly dented, but the plant was PERFECT.
There are five, nice leaves on this 4in plant. The largest top leaf was perfect, and a new leaf under that had unfurled in shipping from FL to CA. Other leaves were hugging each other. One leaf will need to work at facing out, but 3.5 days later it’s on its way to facing the light.
I chose to water it, checked w/ my light meter, and put it under a grow light.
I waited to write this until I could take a before and after photo for you.
It’s everything I had hoped it would be. I would buy from here again!
I am so in love! this girl is beautiful!!! packaged very good with no damage!! Will definitely shop again here!!! deserves 10 stars
EXACTLY 120 HOURS IN A BOX COAST TO COAST ACROSS AMERICA. What could happen? The answer is absolutely nothing. Maybe some magical protection spell? 🙌🏼 The box had some dings but when I opened it, I was not prepared for the condition that this plant came in. Leaves? Literally glistening with moisture. Stems? Solid completely intact. Droopy leaves? Zero. Leaves tips had guttation, like what is this sorcery?! I’m not sure what else I could say. Out of all my plant orders this one by far just took my breath away. Oh, not to mention the fact that there was ZERO soil dropped in the box. Plenty beautiful leaves with one working its way to unfurling. Just pure perfection.
This is my favorite plant of all time!
I love my new plant!
The plants is very beautiful
