The dragon scale was in soil and had root rot and even partial corm rot but I planned on putting in semi hydro anyway, so it lost all its leaves however Alocasia are amazing and as long as you know how to grow from corm you will easily restart your plant quickly. But you also have to know how to deal with rot if there is any. Here she is today! New beautiful leaf (it did have a little trouble forming on right side but that's ok, it happens sometimes) with tons of healthy roots! So many roots they're already almost in the water reservoir!
