Alocasia Dragon’s Breath – Grower’s Choice Starter Plant
Alocasia Dragon’s Breath is a striking variety known for its elongated foliage and dramatic vein contrast. Leaves emerge in a pale, silvery green tone with bold, dark veins that create a high-contrast, almost etched appearance across the surface. The leaf texture is smooth to lightly textured, allowing the vein pattern to remain the focal point.
As the plant matures, leaf shape becomes more defined and elongated, with veins remaining dark and prominent against the lighter background. Dragon’s Breath has a strong visual presence without relying on deep coloration, making it especially eye-catching under bright, indirect light.
This listing is for a Grower’s Choice Alocasia Dragon’s Breath starter plant, not a corm. Plants are selected by me at the time of fulfillment based on overall health, root development, and growth stage. Starter plants are rooted, actively growing, and grown from my personal collection.
Starter plants are juvenile, established plants with approximately 1–3 leaves at the time of shipment. These plants are rooted and actively growing but still early in development. Leaf size, shape, and vein contrast will continue to evolve as the plant matures.
Photos are representative only. You will not receive the exact plant shown. Images represent typical size, shape, and growth stage.

Care Responsibility
Once the plant leaves my care, ongoing care becomes the responsibility of the buyer. This includes providing appropriate light, warmth, humidity, moisture management, and allowing time for acclimation after shipping.
I am not responsible for damage caused by improper care, environmental conditions, shipping delays, or temperature exposure after shipment.
I strongly recommend purchasing a heat pack and upgrading shipping when temperatures are cooler, as Alocasia starter plants are sensitive to cold and temperature fluctuations.
A Note on Growing
Alocasia Dragon’s Breath appreciates consistency and stable conditions. Early leaves may appear lighter or softer in tone, but vein contrast remains a defining feature. With patience and proper care, the plant continues producing elongated foliage with strong visual impact as it matures.
