Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated Corm

Grow a highly desirable collector Alocasia from the beginning with an Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated corm.

Alocasia Dragon Scale is prized for its thick, deeply textured foliage and dramatic scale-like venation. The Mint Variegated form adds unpredictable shades of mint green, cream, silver and dark green, creating a unique pattern on every emerging leaf.

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

Growing an Alocasia from a corm allows you to experience the complete propagation process, 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 Mint Variegated corm
• A corm produced by a variegated parent plant
• One individually selected and inspected corm
• Careful packaging for shipment

The mature leaf or parent plant shown in the product photograph is for identification and appearance reference only. The mature plant pictured is not included.

Corms naturally vary in:

• Size
• Shape
• Exterior color
• 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 Dragon Scale Mint

Alocasia Dragon Scale is known for its thick, sculpted foliage and distinctive raised veins. The leaves have a dramatic reptile-scale appearance that makes this variety recognizable even without variegation.

The Mint Variegated form may produce foliage featuring:

• Pale mint-green marbling
• Cream or light-green sectors
• Silver-green markings
• Dark green patches
• Speckled or splash-style variegation
• Contrasting textured veins

Every plant can develop differently. One leaf may display strong mint coloring, while another may emerge with more green, cream or silver.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm is produced by an Alocasia Dragon Scale Mint Variegated parent plant. However, variegation grown from a corm is naturally unpredictable.

The resulting plant may produce:

• Strong mint variegation
• Balanced green and mint coloring
• Cream or silver markings
• Light marbling or splashing
• Low-variegation foliage
• Predominantly green foliage
• Highly pale growth

Variegation may change from one leaf to the next as the plant matures. Purchasing a corm from a variegated parent does not guarantee a specific pattern, color balance or level of variegation.

The exact appearance of the parent plant shown in the product photograph is not guaranteed.

How to Sprout Your Dragon Scale Mint Corm

Place the corm in a clean propagation container with a lightly moist growing medium. Suitable options include:

• Damp sphagnum moss
• Perlite
• Fluval Stratum
• A shallow-water propagation setup
• A light and airy aroid propagation mix

Position the corm with the pointed growth end facing upward. Nestle the lower portion into the growing medium while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

For successful propagation, provide:

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

Avoid keeping the corm in saturated or stagnant material. Excessive moisture and poor airflow can increase the risk of rot.

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

Care After Sprouting

Once your corm develops a healthy root system and begins producing leaves, gradually transfer it into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate.

A suitable growing mixture may include:

• Coco coir or quality potting mix
• Perlite or pumice
• Fine orchid bark
• Horticultural charcoal
• Other airy aroid amendments

Place the young plant in bright, indirect light. Adequate light supports healthy growth and variegation, but harsh direct sunlight may scorch pale mint or cream areas.

Keep the substrate lightly and consistently moist without leaving it waterlogged. Young Alocasias generally prefer warm temperatures, elevated humidity and stable growing conditions.

Avoid sudden changes in:

• Light
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Watering frequency
• Growing medium

Gradual transitions help reduce stress while the young plant becomes established.

Mint Variegation Notice

Mint coloring can vary depending on the individual plant, genetics, leaf maturity, lighting and growing environment.

New leaves may emerge pale and gradually deepen in color as they harden. Some leaves may display obvious mint sections, while others may appear primarily cream, silver-green or dark green.

The term “Mint Variegated” identifies the collector form and parent plant. It does not guarantee that every leaf will contain visible mint variegation.

Shipping and Live-Corm Notice

This is a living propagation product. Its appearance and development stage may naturally change during storage, packaging and transportation.

Your corm may arrive:

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

Dry outer material, small surface marks and natural differences in shape are not automatically signs that a corm is unhealthy.

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