The Albo Variegated form adds genuine, unstable white variegation on top of that dramatic texture, meaning no two plants show quite the same balance of scaled green to cream white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBotanical Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlocasia baginda is native to Borneo, growing as a compact rhizomatous herb in humid forest conditions. Its common name, Dragon Scale, refers to the raised, textured leaf surface with contrasting dark green venation. As with other Alocasia, the sap contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it bright, indirect light, warmth between 18-27C (65-80F), a well-draining chunky aroid mix, and humidity above 60% where possible, a covered setup or grow cabinet will noticeably improve leaf texture and variegation clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLive Plant, Bareroot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is a bareroot division, shipped without soil in a size equivalent to a 3\" pot, not the mature specimen pictured in the second photo.
