Alocasia baginda 'Pink Dragon' is a beautiful tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. Alocasia pink dragon plant has large, oval-shaped variegated leaves that resemble a dragon's head. The dark green leaves of alocasia pink dragon plants have pinkish white variegation and sit on top of slender long pink coloured stalks. The Alocasia baginda 'Pink Dragon' grows best in humid environments and requires regular watering. The plant is semi-tropical and can be damaged by frost and cold or hot air. Alocasia baginda 'Pink Dragon' is an excellent choice for use as an indoor plant or in shady garden areas. Buy your own Alocasia baginda 'Pink Dragon' today on our website!

Light requirement: Part sun/part shade and Bright indirect sunlight

Water requirement: Medium

Watering frequency: When the top 5cm of the potting mix is dry to the touch. Ensure the potting mix does not dry out completely to prevent leaf browning. On the other hand, similar to most potted plants, overwatering can cause root rot and pest problems. To keep your Alocasia happy, ensure you are watering it just right.

Soil: Rich, consistently moist but well-draining.

Skill level: Expert

Growth rate: Intermediate

Suitable for containers: Yes

More info: 1) Humidity: Alocasias are originally from tropical and sub-tropical regions and thrive in warm, humid conditions. Low humidity can cause leaf browning. Alocasias love about 70% humidity, but can be happy with 60% humidity - the humidity that Sydney more or less has throughout the year except for July, August and September. Increasing humidity levels with a humidifier or a pebble tray with water will make your plant healthier and keep the leaves looking lush.
2) Winter: Alocasias are not frost tolerant. Either bring them indoors during winters or plant them in an area that is protected from strong winter winds and mulch well. During winter, the leaves might die back. If this happens, reduce watering and feeding and the plant might grow back in spring!

Drought tolerance: Low

Frost tolerance: Low

Wind tolerance: Medium

Disease and pest susceptibility: Alocasias are susceptible to pests and diseases including spidermites, mealybugs, and blackspot. Washing the leaves (gentle water pressure) once a month or spraying the leaves with white oil and wiping with a soft cloth are good ways to prevent infestations.

Top Notch Service

It was a very nice surprise when my three very healthy Buxus plants were waiting for me early this morning. I love the range, quality and service of The Australian Plant shop and am most definitely a loyal customer as other providers don't even come close.

What a gorgeous tree!

My Fiddly Fig has finally decided to have it's last tantrum - nothing made it happy and all the research and care I put into it came to nothing. Of all my plants, it is the most demanding. I ordered the Banyan Tree and it's tall! The bark is a beautiful silver and the leaves are strong - it is such a healthy, majestic plant. Hopefully the fiddly fig ups its game now there's a contender for my affections in the house (but knowing the fiddly fig, it'll probably drop another leaf in protest). Thank you for such a healthy, beautiful plant, sorry, tree! :)

Happy Plant, Happy Customer

First time buyer and I was very pleased with the service and delivery. Miya was very informative and enthusiastic in letting me know how to care and manage the plant.

As it was an expensive plant I was worried they might have chosen a smaller size but that was not the case. It was big, beautiful and left a delightful impression. Love at first sight even.

I will definitely buy again!
