Alocasia Silver Dragon 6"

Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ is a rare, highly coveted jewel of the aroid world, prized for its metallic, scale‑like foliage and compact, sculptural form.

Care Tips

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent leaf burn.

Water: Keep soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch to dry between waterings. Silver Dragon is sensitive to overwatering.

Humidity: Prefers 60%+ humidity. A humidifier or pebble tray helps maintain leaf texture and prevent crisping.

Temperature: Ideal range is 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil: Use a well‑draining, chunky aroid mix to support healthy roots and prevent rot.

Dormancy: May slow growth or drop a leaf in winter — reduce watering slightly until new growth resumes.

Pet Safety: Alocasias are not pet‑safe if ingested.
