Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated Corm – Rare Alocasia baginda

Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated Corm

Grow an extraordinary collector plant from the beginning with an Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated corm. This rare Alocasia is prized for its heavily textured foliage, dramatic dark veining and unpredictable patches of white, cream, mint and green variegation.

Dragon Scale is commonly sold as Alocasia baginda ‘Dragon Scale.’ The species Alocasia baginda is recognized for its unusually thick, leathery leaf blades, while the Dragon Scale cultivar is grown for its distinctive textured foliage.

This listing is for one corm—not a rooted starter plant or mature plant.

Growing an Alocasia from a corm gives you the opportunity to experience every stage of development, from the first roots and growth point to the emergence of its first textured leaf.

What You Will Receive

You will receive:

• One Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated corm
• A corm produced by a variegated parent plant
• One individually selected and inspected corm
• Careful packaging for shipment

The mature plant and leaf shown in the product photograph are for identification and appearance reference only. The pictured plant is not included unless the listing specifically states otherwise.

Corms naturally differ in:

• Size and shape
• Color and exterior texture
• Root development
• Sprouting stage
• Dormancy stage

Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root or already showing a small growth point.

Why Collectors Love Variegated Dragon Scale

The Alocasia Dragon Scale is known for thick, sculpted foliage with a deeply embossed surface resembling reptile scales. The Albo Variegated form adds irregular sectors and marbling in white, cream, mint and green.

Every leaf may develop a different pattern. One leaf may show broad contrasting sections, while another may display smaller splashes, marbling or lower variegation. This natural variation makes each plant unique.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm is produced by an Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated parent plant. However, the exact amount, color and pattern of future variegation cannot be guaranteed.

A corm may produce:

• High variegation
• Balanced green-and-white variegation
• Mint or cream markings
• Low-variegation growth
• Predominantly green leaves
• Highly white growth

Variegation may also change from one leaf to the next as the plant matures. Purchasing this product does not guarantee that every leaf will display variegation or that the baby plant will exactly match the parent plant.

How to Sprout Your Dragon Scale Corm

Place the corm in a clean, warm and humid propagation environment. Suitable propagation media include:

• Damp sphagnum moss
• Perlite
• Fluval Stratum
• A shallow water-propagation setup
• A lightly moist aroid propagation mixture

Position the corm with the pointed growth end facing upward. Partially nestle it into the propagation medium instead of completely burying it.

Keep the medium lightly moist but never saturated. Excess water, stagnant conditions and poor airflow can increase the risk of rot.

For best results, provide:

• Warm temperatures
• High humidity
• Bright, indirect light
• Lightly moist propagation media
• Clean conditions and gentle airflow

Alocasias are tropical plants that generally perform best in warm conditions and bright, filtered light. Cold exposure can damage them, so protect the corm from low temperatures during propagation and transportation.

Sprouting time varies. Some corms begin developing roots or leaves quickly, while others may remain dormant for several weeks or longer.

Alocasia Dragon Scale Care

After the corm develops a healthy root system and begins producing leaves, gradually transfer it into a light, airy and well-draining aroid substrate.

Place the young plant in bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged harsh sunlight, especially on pale variegated sections, because highly variegated tissue is more delicate.

Keep the substrate consistently but lightly moist while the plant is young. Do not allow it to remain waterlogged, and avoid letting a newly sprouted corm stay completely dry for extended periods.

Warmth, humidity, clean growing conditions and good airflow will help support healthy development.

Shipping and Live-Corm Notice

This is a living propagation product. Its appearance and stage of development may change between photography, packaging and delivery.

Your corm may arrive:

• Dormant
• Rooted or unrooted
• Beginning to sprout
• With dried exterior layers
• With minor natural discoloration
• In a different development stage than another customer’s corm

Small surface marks, dried outer material and natural differences in shape are not necessarily signs that a corm is unhealthy.

Open your package promptly after delivery, inspect the corm and place it into suitable propagation conditions.

Grow a Rare Dragon Scale from the Beginning

An Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated corm is ideal for collectors who enjoy propagation and want to grow a rare Alocasia from its earliest stage.

With patience and the proper environment, your corm can develop into a remarkable Alocasia featuring thick, sculpted leaves and completely individual variegation.

Order your Alocasia Dragon Scale Albo Variegated corm while available. Inventory is naturally limited by the number of corms produced by healthy parent plants.
