Description

Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale Mint' XS (5.5cm pot)

Name: Alocasia baginda Kurniawan & P.C.Boyce ‘Dragon Scale Mint’

Etymology: The Malay word baginda is an honorific title for royalty. ‘Dragon Scale Mint’ describes the scale-like, textured, mint-colored leaf pattern.

First description: 2011 by W. Kurniawan and Peter C. Boyce.

Origin/Distribution: Borneo, Indonesia.

Location/Habitat: Terrestrial in warm, humid tropical forests. We recommend approximately 21–29 °C, high humidity, gentle air circulation, and bright, indirect light.

Description and notes: This compact cultivar features thick, highly textured leaves with dark venation and silvery mint-green surfaces. The XS plant offered requires a loose, humus-rich, and mineral-permeable substrate. Keep evenly slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging, cold drafts, and direct midday sun. The roots are sensitive if grown in conditions that are too cool or too wet.
