In the dense, humid rainforests of the Philippines, where the sun only weakly filters through the thick foliage, Alocasia heterophylla grows.

This variety of Alocasia originates from the Philippines where it grows along the coast . Often on slopes with relatively high levels of lime in the soil. The humidity is around 60-70%, so the plant is not bothered by our usual indoor humidity which is often similar.

Botanical Description

This Alocasia species has a very variable appearance of the leaves and was named 'Heterophylla' which in Greek means 'different leaves'. There is almost a unique variety of Alocasia heterophylla on every island around the habitat.

On the market you can also find a similar Alocasia under a similar name with the pseudonym Heterophylla 'Corazon' . This variety was thought to be a subspecies of Alocasia heterophylla but much suggests that it is actually a different Alocasia species. You can read more in this fantastic article.

The variety we sell here is the so-called 'Dragon's breath'.

Origin:

Alocasia heterophylla 'dragons breath' is probably from the Philippines , endemic to the island of 'Luzon'. The species is believed to be endangered in the wild.

Appearance.

The leaves of Alocasia heterophylla are large , arrow-shaped and have a beautiful mix of green shades, often with a subtle metallic sheen. The leaf surface is smooth with an elegant and discreet veining. The leaves can grow to impressive sizes. As a houseplant, this Alocasia's leaves are about 30 cm long and the plant itself is 40 cm high.

Care:

Alocasia heterophylla thrives in a well-draining soil mixture with plenty of coconut soil and fertilizer, such as our Aroid soil. Alocasia heterophylla thrives best in bright, indirect light but can also be shaded. However, it will not grow very quickly.

Alocasia heterophylla 'dragons breath' likes to have its roots slightly moist at all times. Therefore, water just before the soil has dried out 1-2cm below the surface. Use a transparent orchid pot to allow good drainage and oxygen to the thick roots.

Alocasia heterophylla has an upright plant form with leaves growing from a central tuber. This unusual Alocasia grows quickly under the right conditions and is relatively easy to care for an Alocasia. Buy Alocasia heterophylla 'dragons breath' online!

A good one, albeit not a perfect one
It is a comprehensive look into the series with lots of wonderful art. I felt that it was thinner than the previous book from the Avatar series but I'm not talking about the length of the book (I know this one has less pages an only covers one season) but rather about the "insights" into the creative process. While the previous book felt full to the seams and you could feel that there was a lot of important material that didn't fit, you also felt that all the material that did was included was the best. In this one for Korra, you feel that there were many important things left out that should have been included and there are some things that were included that doesn't feel as important...

Everything you wanted put into a art book
I loved this art book. It showed me basically everything I wanted to see from back drops used and unused, old character designs and how some things came to be or what they were inspired by. The commentary is great though rarely confusing (Ex: at one point they commentary refers to a picture in the top right but says "As you can see by the design in the middle" the middle being something completely different) I feel like this book is a must for fans and people interested in the art of the series alike.

This is how you make an artbook!!
It's so awesome to open an artbook and see every stage of the character and how it all came together. It's always fun and interesting to know how Korra was made, and why whe looks the way it looks. It's really cool to read the different ideas that came up for a certain character and why they decided that a certain design worked better than the previous ones! It's also really interesting and delicious to read about how they inspired themselves in known architecture to create the environment in this tv series. I simply loved it and I'm excited to know that I'll be buying the other Korra artbooks!!!

Great artwork for a great series!! Recommended to artists, animators and fans of the series
It's been a while since the Avatar: The Last Airbender series ran on TV. I really loved that series because it dealt with a lot of eastern cultures themes and it was not the average children TV show. Despite its children characters the show runners manged to find a balance between drama and comedy. Now about the art book: that series (Avatar) had its own book (all seasons in one single book) but this time we are getting one book entirely dedicated to the first season, which makes it great. Why? Because we are getting more artwork per episode, most of it in full-color. I would have liked to see more of the character design, I mean how they got to the final version. Most of the characters are shown in their final version with some costume variants but that's it, no development. One thing missing this time (both from the series and this book) is the animal designs. They had a lot 2-animal-fusion designs on the previous show but this time we get to see almost nothing. I know it is because the series is takes place mainly in Republic City. And wow! what a nice city it is. All the artwork dedicated to set Republic City's mood, the 1920s, the steam-punk influence, the fashion, everything just fits perfectly! There is a couple of aerial views (day & night) which are my favorite from the book. This new guy they hired to do the background paintings has done a great job! Every background and every building design have so much detail that they will make your jaw just drop. I like the fact they are paintings with no pencil lines, just paint brushed over the design, which makes it look richer! Now, I am giving this book a 4-star rating because of the reasons I have already explained and the fact that we are not getting that much in-depth information like we got from the Avatar art book . I must say this is not an animation book, this is an art book that depicts backgrounds, characters and vehicles. You will get to see a few storyboarded sequences but this book is not intended to teach you about animation. I seriously recommend this book to any person interested in art and animation. The artwork is so well achieved that you will be left wanting to see more.

Inspirational for Concepts and Illustration
I am learning to be a Concept Designer and Illustrator and this art book is inspirational. This art book has well presented examples for most every part of the conception and finishing process for characters, environments, costumes, props, and story. It has a good amount of design concepts from everything about the series first season: character designs, character sheets, building and city designs, costumes, vehicles, etc. I only wish is was longer/bigger. They could put all 4 seasons into one large encompassing volume.
