Overall, they grow to about 30 cm in height and width. There are several popular cultivars of \u003cem\u003eA. baginda\u003c\/em\u003e. 'Dragon Scale Variegata' has particularly beautiful, strongly structured leaves with contrasting and sunken dark leaf veins, which gives the leaf a spectacular 3D effect, as well as strong variegation with fine, initially light yellow then white speckles. Certainly one of the most beautiful \u003cem\u003eAlocasia\u003c\/em\u003e species and also very easy to care for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The true origin of this species is unknown. It was only described as a distinct species in 2011, but was known as an ornamental plant long before that, yet no one knows where it actually comes from. Its morphologically closest relatives, \u003cem\u003eA. regina\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eA. reginula\u003c\/em\u003e, come from limestone habitats in Sarawak. It is therefore likely that \u003cem\u003eA. baginda\u003c\/em\u003e also originates from this area, but it has not yet been found there. Future expeditions could clarify this.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319676252537,"sku":"Alo046","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/alocasia-baginda-dragon-scale-variegata-04.jpg?v=1768923616","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/alocasia-baginda-dragon-scale-variegata","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
