Alocasia ‘Dragon Scale’ is aptly named, with its unusual metallic-green leaves and pronounced dark green veins. This trending plant has caught the attention of Instagrammers worldwide, and there is certainly nothing else like it in the hot house world of indoor plants.

A great plant for beginners, this easy-to-care-for indoor tropical beauty likes a warm, humid room with bright light (no sun). Make a feature of it on a coffee table, in your home office or bedroom. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering and feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser twice a month from spring to autumn and once a month in winter
