Care Instructions
-
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the velvety matte foliage.
- Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Use well-draining soil and ensure it is never left sitting in standing water.
- Temperature: Prefers warm environments between 65°F and 80°F. Protect it from sudden cold drafts or dropping temperatures.
- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity environments (60% or higher is ideal).
Pet Safety Information
-
- Toxic to Pets: Like all members of the Alocasia family, the Velvet Dragon contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of your furry companions.
