{"product_id":"alocasia-dragons-tooth","title":"Alocasia Dragons Tooth","description":"\u003cp\u003eFierce, sculptural, and unmistakably rare — \u003cstrong\u003eAlocasia Dragon's Tooth\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAlocasia longiloba\u003c\/em\u003e hybrid) is a collector's prize. Its long, narrow leaves taper to a dramatic point, edged with deep, tooth-like lobing and traced with silvery-green veining against a dark, velvety surface. A bold architectural specimen that brings an untamed, prehistoric energy to any space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrives in bright, indirect light. Good light intensity enhances the contrast of the silvery veining and encourages the large, dramatic leaf form this cultivar is prized for. Avoid harsh direct sun, which scorches the foliage, and low-light conditions, which produce smaller, less defined leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Dragon's Tooth prefers consistent moisture but will not tolerate waterlogged roots — always use a well-draining pot and discard any standing water in the saucer promptly. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefers humidity of 60% or higher. Use a humidifier or pebble tray to maintain adequate moisture in the air, particularly in heated or air-conditioned interiors. Low humidity leads to crispy leaf margins and stunted growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal range is 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Cold stress can trigger dormancy or cause leaf drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Potting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a chunky, fast-draining aroid mix: a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark provides the aeration and drainage this species requires. Repot in spring every 1–2 years, or when roots begin to circle the base of the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Withhold feeding in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDormancy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many Alocasias, Dragon's Tooth may enter a rest period in winter, shedding some leaves. This is a natural response to reduced light and temperature — keep the soil barely moist and resume regular care as new growth emerges in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eToxicity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⚠️ Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leaf and Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598605926571,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/5617\/6299\/files\/83E265F1-CF8A-4F3B-AADF-73BFBCD70900.jpg?v=1787427355","url":"https:\/\/leafandreefplants.com\/products\/alocasia-dragons-tooth","provider":"Leaf and Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
