Alocasia Silver Dragon

Well known as The Dragon Scale plant for leaves venation that resembles scales as they mature. They will have a contrasting colour of dark and light green, grow into a compact plant rather than tall and leggy as we know most Alocasia. This variety will also have a more silvery green hue with darker “scales”.

☀️- Make sure you place Alocasia near a window or in a very bright room, however avoid the direct sunlight. Low light conditions will quickly deteriorate your plant

💧- Alocasia’s root system has tuberous rhizomes and they store water for a while. Make sure you allow your plant to dry out between watering, cutting back over winter. Just don’t allow the soil to go crispy dry, but also never waterlogged.

🌡️- Keep warm as Alocasias are tropical plants, ideally above 18°C all year around. In colder rooms over winter they might go dormant so keep up the warmth and raise humidity around them.

🪴- Once roots are coming out of the pot, change the soil to a rich, but well draining soil mix. Some perlite and vermiculite mixed in the soil will not go amiss.

🐾- Toxic to pets.
