An Alocasia Dragon Scale paired with an Alocasia Platinum creates a striking duet of texture and contrast in a single pot: the Dragon Scale’s heavily textured, metallic-green leaves with deep veining and sculptural presence complement the Platinum’s smoother, silvery foliage edged in darker green, producing layered visual depth and a dynamic interplay of light. Both prefer bright, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining, airy soil, so planting them together works well as long as watering is balanced to satisfy the Dragon Scale’s slightly more moisture-loving tendencies without waterlogging the Platinum; choose a pot with drainage and consider a pebble or perlite-rich mix to keep roots aerated. Positioning the Dragon Scale where its dramatic leaves can be admired and the Platinum slightly forward or lower will showcase both forms while allowing airflow to prevent fungal issues; regular gentle cleaning of leaves and occasional feeding during the growing season will keep the pair healthy and their contrasting surfaces vivid.
