Two out of three aint bad, i suppose!!
Rating: 2/5
I bought three plants, a crocodile fern, an Alocasia Portodora and an Alocasia Dragon Scale. The Dragon Scale began turning yellow and wilting the day after arrival. I contacted Houseplants.co.uk, who said it needed to acclimatise and gave me some instructions. While following these instructions, the plant got worse, as a number of leaves started to curl and go brown. Upon closer inspection, there were two rhizomes in a single pot and one of them was suffering from root rot. I am hoping i can save the good one, but i dont think i should have to deal with this so soon after purchasing the item. Clearly Houseplant.co.uk have lots of happy customers and so i can only conclude that i was unluckly. But, as the Dragon Scale was expensive, I wont be buying from them again.

Elephant Ear | Dragon Scale | Rare Plant
The rare Alocasia Baginda Dragon Scale an iconic classic from Borneo in the humid Malay Archipelago, is easier to take care of compared to other Alocasia and sure to spread exotic auras wherever it goes. Known as the Dragon Scale for its fascinating leathery green leaves covered in a darker green pattern that look like dragon scales.
Elephant Ear | Portodora
A lovely Alocasia with simply elegant waving leaves. A lesser common Alocasia that has striking and interesting features that compliment displays with other differing foliage plants. A perfect plant for a plant enthusiast in the making. This beautiful rarity has soft green hues that soothe any environment.
Crocodile Fern | Rare Plant
A walk on the wild side - The scale-like pattern on the leaves give this Crocodile Fern an unusual tropical feel. A vibrant green with dark netted veins on long glossy leaves draws the eye and appears to glisten in the light. A fantastic feature plant with an animalistic attitude that could capture the attention of any audience.
