Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' is a hybrid plant with dark, almost black leaves that have striking red veins, creating a dramatic and eye-catching appearance.

Here are some care tips for Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath':

1. **Light**: Provide bright, indirect light for your Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath.' Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Alocasias thrive in bright, filtered light.

2. **Water**: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

3. **Humidity**: Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' prefers high humidity levels. Consider using a humidifier or regularly misting the plant to increase humidity.

4. **Temperature**: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

5. **Soil**: Plant your Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well.

6. **Fertilizer**: Feed your Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. **Repotting**: Repot the plant every 1-2 years in the spring, or when it has outgrown its current pot. Choose a pot that allows for proper drainage.

8. **Pests**: Monitor your plant for common pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Keep the leaves clean and treat any pest infestations promptly.

By providing the right care, you can help your Alocasia 'Dragon's Breath' thrive and showcase its stunning foliage in your indoor space.
