Alocasia Dragon's Breath
Alocasia is a genus of plants in the Aroid family native to many parts of Asia including but not limited to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Australia. There are at least 90 officially recognized Alocasia species, with more discovered and properly named every year. Alocasia come in all sizes, from small to large. Jewel types like Black Velvet tend to stay on the bushier, more compact side. Alocasia are rhizomatous or tuberous and self-reproduce from corms. Alocasia can go dormant during the cooler months, so try to provide your plant with temperatures above 50deg to ensure that they stay happy and healthy during this period. Most Alocasia enjoy a well draining soil rich in organic matter and prefer to dry out slightly between watering. If your Alocasia leaves begin to curl inwards, then your plant is letting you know it's thirsty!
