Water: let the plant dry out between waterings.For best results, maintain a regular watering schedule and keep the soil of your Alocasia Pink Dragon damp, but not wet or saturated. This is not a drought-tolerant indoor plant, but it is relatively forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. Extended periods of dryness can result in brown leaf tips or edges. Root rot will occur if the soil is kept wet for too long.

Humidity: above average.Your Alocasia Pink Dragon prefers a spot with ample humidity. Mist it on a regular basis, or use a pebble tray to increase humidity. This plant will thrive if given frequent, lukewarm showers either in the actual shower or by using the spray attachment near your sink. Your bathroom or kitchen are perfect spots for your Alocasia because these areas tend to be more humid.

Temperature: Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
