How Do You Take Care of a Pink Dragon Plant?

Light: Provide indirect, bright light. Direct sunlight can scorch the foliage. Alocasia Pink Dragon prefers filtered or diffused light.

 Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect your Pink Dragon from cold drafts and avoid sudden temperature changes.

Humidity: Alocasia Pink Dragon thrives in higher humidity levels. Use a humidity tray, mist the leaves regularly, or place the plant near a humidifier.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water your Alocasia Pink when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Soil: Utilize a well-draining potting mix suitable for aroids. Mixtures containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark work well.

Fertilization: Feed with diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the Pink Dragon growing season (spring and summer). Suspend feeding during winter.

Potting: Repot as needed, typically every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with proper drainage.

 Pruning: Trim your yellowing or damaged pink dragonleaves to encourage new growth and maintain appearance.

Pest Control: Regularly inspect for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. If spotted, isolate the plant and treat it promptly.

Acclimatization: Gradually acclimate the plant to prevent stress when moving it to a new location.

 Dormancy: Alocasia Pink Dragon might experience a dormant period. Reduce watering and feeding during this time.

Leaf Sensitivity: Avoid touching or rubbing the leaves, as they can be sensitive and easily damaged.
