Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale Mint'

Parent species: Alocasia baginda

A tissue-culture variegated mutation of 'Dragon Scale': mint-green, cream and pale green marbling and patches overlay the thick, scale-embossed, deep green leaves, with a silvery sheen. Every leaf is different – some with fine speckles, others with larger pale areas. It grows very slowly and is more delicate than green 'Dragon Scale'. Collector's note: also sold as 'Dragon Scale Mint Variegata'.
