Hi! I got a dragon scale a couple weeks ago and i’ve been told that i should cut the bulbs off? i’m nervous about snipping her as she is tiny still and i don’t know whether i should leave her alone and let her grow or if it’s better to cut them so she can grow stronger?

i would say cut it off just cus it takes up extra energy for the plant n it might reward u w a leaf or two lol or u can let it dry out n see if you’ll get some seeds if ur conditions are right!

This looks like an Alocasia silver dragon, not dragon scale
