Alocasia Dragon's Breath

Alocasia ‘Dragon Breath’ is a rare and dramatic tropical hybrid, admired for its dark, glossy leaves with bold venation and striking red undersides. The deep emerald to near-black foliage shimmers in bright, indirect light, while the underside of each leaf glows a fiery crimson—creating a stunning contrast that gives this plant its fierce, mythical name. Its upright, sculptural form and vivid coloration make it a show-stopping centerpiece in any collection.

This variety thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates high humidity, warmth, and consistently moist, well-draining soil. It’s a moderately fast grower when provided with stable conditions and benefits from good airflow and regular misting to keep its dramatic leaves healthy and vibrant.
