The Alocasia Dragon Scale is a true intergalactic relic. Its textured, armored leaves look like they belong to a cosmic creature guarding treasure on a distant moon. This plant thrives in bright, indirect starlight; direct rays can scorch its scales like a solar storm.
Keep its environment toasty (65–85°F) with humidity over 60%. Think tropical nebula conditions. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry like the surface of an asteroid, but don’t flood the roots or you’ll trigger root rot implosion. Use a well-draining mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark to create the perfect moon-dust blend.
This dragon’s temperamental. Don’t let temps drop or it might go into cryo-sleep (dormancy). Feed monthly during the active growing season with a diluted space-fuel fertilizer to keep those scales shining.
Watch for alien invaders like spider mites or thrips. A quick blast of neem oil or insecticidal laser-spray will keep the enemy at bay.
Repot every 1–2 Earth years or when the roots try to escape orbit. Clean leaves gently to maintain their reptilian shimmer, because no galactic warrior wants dusty armor.
Care for it like a treasure from the stars, and your Dragon Scale will reign supreme in your botanical galaxy.
