A pair of humidity-loving plants with the tool that tells you exactly how they are getting on.
Alocasia 'Dragon Scale' has thick, silvery leaves with a raised, scale-like texture, and the Boston fern Nephrolepis exaltata 'Green Lady' brings soft, arching fronds that fill out quickly. Both do best when the air stays humid, which is easy to guess at and hard to judge.
The Garden King hygrometer takes the guesswork out. Its probe reads humidity and temperature where the plants are sitting, so you can see when a pebble tray, a grouping or a move to the bathroom is worth it.
Your quick reference for choosing the right plant size. We group our plants by the diameter of their nursery pots which gives you a consistent way to understand scale.

Lovely plant but sadly I was quite disappointed with the plant I received compared to the photographs on the website. My plant only has x2 leaves and looked as though x2 other stems had been snapped off prior/before being posted out. I am hoping the plant continues to grow but wish I had bought the smaller version now due to the price difference.

Alocasia Dragon Scale
This plant arrived waaaay bigger than I expected! It has two enormous leaves with beautifully vivid patterns and colours. It arrived sprouting a new leaf which already looks as beautiful as the others.

Lovely baby plant
The plant arrived well wrapped and secured, the soil was really dry though and the plant looked very sad and droopy. Thankfully it just needed a good drink and recovered in just a matter of hours. So far it is doing really well and has been repotted after about 2 weeks. Can't wait to see this one grow and mature!
