The Alocasia Longiloba, also known as Dragon's Tooth, makes a great houseplant.
Its arrow shaped leaves have white veins that stand out atop its dark foliage.
Needs moderate to bright indirect light.
This plant performs best when watered consistently. Water it when the top two inches of soil are about dry to the touch. It will not respond well if left in sitting water and also if allowed to have the soil dry out too much.
Likes higher levels of humidity provided by misting or a humidifier. We recommend fertilizing this plant every month during spring and summer with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer.
