Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ – Metallic Leaf Majesty 🐉🌿

Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ is a compact, rare jewel of the plant world, admired for its textured, silvery leaves with dramatic dark green veining. The foliage has a metallic, almost scaled look—resembling dragon skin—making it a collector’s favourite and an eye-catching addition to any houseplant display.

Key Features:

✔ Striking silver-toned leaves with bold, deep green veins
✔ Compact, upright growth – perfect for desks, shelves, or decorative pots
✔ Rare and highly sought after in the aroid world
✔ Ideal for humid environments and terrariums
✔ Slow-growing but relatively easy to maintain

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist – allow the top 2–3cm to dry between waterings

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+) – mist regularly or use a humidifier

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix (coco coir, bark, perlite)

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a gentle, balanced fertiliser

• Temperature: Loves warmth – ideal range is 18–26°C; keep away from cold or draughts

• Dormancy: Growth may slow in winter – reduce watering and avoid repotting

🌿 Tip: Clean the leaves gently with a soft cloth to keep their metallic sheen, and keep out of reach of cold airflow.
