The Alocasia Pink Dragon is a beautiful tropical plant with striking glossy leaves and bright pink stems. It thrives with care that mimics its native rainforest environment.
Here is a simple guide for Alocasia Pink Dragon’s care:
1. Light
- Bright, Indirect Light is essential. This is the most crucial factor.
- Place it near an east or west-facing window, or a few feet away from a bright south-facing window.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight, especially harsh afternoon sun, as it will easily scorch the leaves.
2. Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy.
- Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
- Ensure the pot has excellent drainage and never let the plant sit in a saucer of standing water, as this can quickly lead to root rot (a common problem for Alocasias).
- Reduce watering frequency in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down or if it goes dormant.
3. Humidity & Temperature
- High Humidity is key. This plant loves humidity, ideally 60% or higher.
- To increase humidity: Use a humidifier nearby, place the pot on a pebble tray with water (making sure the pot is not sitting in the water), or keep it in a naturally humid room like a bright bathroom or kitchen. Misting alone is often not enough to raise the humidity significantly.
- Temperature: It prefers warm, stable temperatures between and ( to ).
- Keep it away from cold drafts, A/C vents, and heating elements.
4. Soil
- Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix.
- A good mix often includes a combination of indoor potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir to prevent compaction and allow for air circulation. The soil should be fertile and slightly acidic to neutral.
5. Fertilizing
- Feed every 4-6 weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer).
- Use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength to avoid root burn.
- Do not fertilize during the fall and winter months when growth has slowed or stopped.
6. Dormancy
- It is normal for Alocasias to occasionally enter a dormant period, usually in the winter, especially if light or temperature conditions change.
- The plant may drop some or all of its leaves.
- If this happens, move it to a warmer spot, reduce watering significantly (allow the soil to dry out a bit more, but don’t let it become bone dry), and stop fertilizing. New growth will typically resume in the spring.
7. Pests
- Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites (which love dry air), mealybugs, and thrips. Regular leaf inspection and cleaning can help prevent infestations.
