Achieve the glowing, refreshed skin you deserve
The Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' is all business on top—deep glossy green—and pure drama underneath, where those large arching leaves smolder in burgundy-red to near-purple like they're keeping a secret. She's big, she's architectural, and she has absolutely no interest in being subtle about any of it. Give her warmth, humidity, and a bright spot, and she'll fill a room with the kind of presence that makes people ask "wait, what is THAT?"
LIGHT: Bright indirect light essential; burgundy undersides intensify with more light; direct sun scorches; low light fades the drama
WATER: Top 1–2 inches dry between waterings; moist but never waterlogged; well-draining aroid mix; reduce in winter
HUMIDITY: High humidity required, 60–75%; humidifier recommended; misting alone won't cut it
FERTILIZER: Half-strength balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks spring and summer; monthly early fall; nothing in winter
TEMPERATURE: Stable 65–85°F; never below 60°F; cold stress shows first in the burgundy coloration fading
TOXICITY: Toxic to pets and humans; calcium oxalate crystals cause serious oral irritation and swelling; sap irritates skin and eyes
Beginner Friendly? No—humidity, consistent care, and stable warmth required; best for intermediate to experienced growers
HOW OUR SHIPPING WORKS We ship all live plants with custom packing, insulation, and lots of cushioning so they arrive in the best condition possible. Shipping rates are based on the packed weight of your order (plants + soil + pot + box + insulation). This helps us cover the real cost of getting breakable, living things safely to you.
In cold weather, we strongly recommend adding a Heat Pack add-on for each shipment. Heat packs are priced separately and add additional weight to your box.
SHIPPING NOTE: Shipping includes wrapping and insulation. Heat packs are not included by default—please add a Heat Pack add-on to your cart for cold-weather shipping.
Shipping Days are Monday-Wednesday to avoid weekend and holiday delays.
PLEASE NOTE: What you see is the vibe — not the exact plant. 🌿
Each plant has its own personality (some a little more dramatic than others).
Leaf shape, size, and variegation will vary, but pot size is consistent.
