Alocasia Pink Dragon

Alocasia Pink Dragon is a visually striking Alocasia variety recognized for its smooth, elongated green leaves and prominent pink to blush-colored petioles. The contrast between the clean green foliage and pastel pink stems gives this plant a refined, modern appearance that stands out without variegation. As the plant matures, leaf size and stem coloration become more pronounced.

With a moderate growth rate and upright habit, Alocasia Pink Dragon performs well in bright indoor environments and makes an excellent feature plant for shelves, floors, or grouped tropical displays.
