Mushu, a baby Alocasia Dragon Scale or Alocasia Baginda ‘Dragon Scale’, has one of the most unbeleafable (get it?) leaf textures out there. It's no surprise that he's also one of the hardest to come by varieties of Alocasia.
Mushu has an incredible, deep-veined texture that, in case you haven't already guessed, is said to resemble dragon scales. What's even better, is that the leaves are tough and pliable, and even have a hardened topside, just like real scales!
Native to the tropical forests of Borneo, Mushu is one of the beautiful “jewel” Alocasias, a group of special rainforest specimens that demand that little bit extra TLC.
Mushu, Baby Alocasia Dragon Scale
Mushu prefers bright indirect light to partial shade without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
