My big ass Silver Dragon needed a repot, so I decided to record it for you guys and give you a brief overview of how I take care of this alocasia, and my others!
Hope you like it!

Those "bulbs" are actually called a corm. This is a very beautiful silver dragon, so if keeping your soil moist works for you, that's great, all of my corms in moisture like that tend to rot. They grow with my Pink Dragons also. Those are some healthy leaves and lots of corms.

Alocasia are very forgiving, and you can chop those really long roots off, as long as it's going into a well draining soil and you're not over watering. You're not crazy giving your plant supplemental light. It's something everyone that lives in cooler climates should do. They are tropical plants and require 12 hours of light, the LED lights also create a little heat which the plants also love.

I know your comment was a year ago, but maybe this will help someone else who sees. I have a bunch of alocasias and I have always found the best way to grow the bulbs it to just let them grow with the mother plant, then when they are a few inches tall/have a few leaves and roots of their own, repot them into an appropriate sized pot. This is how I propagate all of my alocasias and monsteras as well. If you would still prefer to plant the bulbs you can use the same type of soil mix and place them ~3-4 inches deep, keeping the soil slightly moist but not soaked.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 plant. I finally figured out how to take care of an alocasia poly that came to me after Mom passed away. It lost all but 1 leaf. I planted it in a self watering system with pumice and it is on happy so I got brave and just purchased an alocasia maharani . If I can keep this alive for 6 months I would love to get 1 of the dragon scale alocasia. I love the tip about the Sphagnum moss. I propagate in it and do well. I going to try some in the bottom of my calathea magic star.

Love this! I have several different alocasias, and I attempt to make sure all my plants are in the most similar conditions possible to those that they would be in naturally. Alocasias are more tropical, and most grow on river banks and in swamps, so they do need more moist environments. I'm with you on this, I've seen people with dry dry soil and I think it's crazy those plants survive, but it is possible to acclimate plants to different environments. I keep most of mine double potted and always have water in the bottom. Never have issues with root rot and as long as I continue to bottom water and don't pour water on top I don't have any problems with fungus.

I got my hands on one a couple of weeks ago. I really did my research and tried to do everything correctly. It is sitting on an east facing window on a pebbles tray with water, I also spritz it with water two times a day, the soil is moist - not soggy. And still - the plant has started dropping her leaves like crazy. I seem to have absolutely no luck with alocasias :(
