4.7 Store Rating

Dragon's Breath Alocasia is a rare Elephant Ear that grows long, silvery leaves with defined tips. With this Alocasia's small height and need for warmth, humidity, indirect light, and low water, it can be successfully grown indoors. You may hear Dragon's Breath called by one of its other common names: Baginda Jewel and African Mask. Please note that elephant ears' attributes and colors become more defined when they mature.

• Height when mature: 3-feet tall and wide
• Light: Bright but indirect
• Soil: Rich, well-drained
• Water: Moist but not soggy, allow top layer to dry out slightly before watering.
• Zones: 9-11

Four potted plants in increasing sizes are labeled: Promo (2-4 tall), Classic (3-8 tall), Premium (8-15 tall), and Supreme (8-25 tall), showing plant and pot dimensions for each size.

Introducing Premium & Supreme plants

We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.

Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.

New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Shop with confidence

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

That's why you have 30 days from the arrival date to experiment with them. If they don't bounce back, you're eligible for a refund.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
