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 💧.
