Nombre científico
Alocasia baginda (planta de raíz de loto de Su Majestad) 'Dragonscale'

Nombre común
Planta Dragón, Planta Escama Dragón

Origen
Originario del sudeste asiático

Descripción
La Alocasia baginda está acostumbrada a las condiciones cálidas y húmedas en su Borneo natal, por lo que también agradecerá un lugar cálido en su casa, aunque no junto a un radiador, lo que correría el riesgo de secarla demasiado rápido. Las hojas le dan a esta planta su nombre común, ya que el centro brillante y más pálido de las hojas entre las nervaduras hace que parezca las escamas de un ser mítico. Para un fondo fantástico de escamas de dragón, o alternativamente para un bonito follaje verde degradado, ¡consigue una planta de escamas de dragón!

Luz
La luz brillante e indirecta hará felices a las alocasias, ya sea desde arriba o a 2 m de una ventana. ¡Solo asegúrate de que no sea demasiado directo ya que esto puede quemar las hojas!

Agua

Deje que el tercio superior de la tierra se seque entre aguas; tenga en cuenta que necesitará un poco menos de riego en los meses más fríos.

Humedad
La humedad promedio del hogar está bien; Cuando la calefacción esté encendida, intente aumentar la humedad con una bandeja humectante. ¡Se beneficiará de un lavado ocasional con una manguera para mantenerlo libre de polvo e hidratar las hojas!

Suelo

Utilice una tierra que retenga la humedad para mantener feliz a esta planta sedienta, pero no demasiado empapada. Trasplante cada dos años si es absolutamente necesario; estas plantas preferirían estar atadas a una maceta antes que correr el riesgo de sufrir una descarga eléctrica al moverse.

Alimento
Alimente cada cuatro aguas durante la temporada de crecimiento, reduzca a cada seis en otoño e invierno. Riegue previamente la tierra antes de aplicar productos "listos para usar" para proteger las raíces.

Temperatura

Preferiblemente le gustan las temperaturas de 20-30°C; asegúrese de que no baje de los 12°C en invierno.

Apto para mascotas
No, esta planta es tóxica para las mascotas y los humanos pequeños.

Consejos principales para los brotes
Para mantener su alocasia, pode las hojas amarillentas con una cuchilla afilada y cortes limpios; ¡No cortes el tejido amarillento y asegúrate de que los cortes estén limpios para evitar impactar a la planta!

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

We use paper tape and all our branded materials included are fully recyclable. Sometimes we use polystyrene, bubble wrap or plastic wrap in the packaging, all these items are not new and where possible, please use them again.

Letter from the founder - September 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
This month we have been busier than expected, which is obviously amazing. We have worked with some amazing businesses, including a very nice doughnut cafe thats opened on College Green that you need to check out. We have welcomed Jazz to the team, she's already settling in amazingly. And we look forward to the end of the year for that ever so special quarter that is very very important to retailers like us up and down the country.
