This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.

General care

Pink Dragon Albo needs bright filtered light to support its reduced green tissue, but prolonged direct sun can burn the white sections. Keep temperatures stable and use a rich, airy mix.

Water and humidity

Wait until the top 1–2 inches are dry, then water thoroughly and drain the pot. Bottom watering is recommended. Humidity around 60–70% helps protect the delicate variegation.

Propagation

Use a mature plant for propagation and separate a rooted offset or healthy corm. Stem and leaf cuttings will not produce a new Alocasia.
