Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is all about texture. The thick, heavily quilted leaves have a metallic silver-green surface with deep, dark green veining that genuinely resembles dragon armor—hence the name. New leaves often emerge lighter and deepen in contrast as they harden off, adding to the drama. This is a compact, upright Alocasia prized for its sculptural look and slow, deliberate growth, making each new leaf feel like an event.
