Light pink stems grow together in a bouquet-like fashion, throwing out the traditional heart-shaped leaves we expect from an alocasia. The Pink Dragon is particular about its growing conditions, earning this plant the reputation of being a little difficult to grow indoors. But, with the right amount of TLC and consistency, the Pink Dragon is a beautiful and unique plant.
Give your plant plenty of bright indirect light. It can handle short periods of direct morning sun, but be sure to avoid direct sunlight in the afternoon in order to avoid burning the delicate foliage. Keep the soil consistently moist with regular watering, a pebble tray, or a humidifier. Pet owners should be aware that the Alocasia Pink Dragon is considered toxic to pets if ingested so take care with this plant around your furry friends1.
