The Alocasia Silver Dragon is a striking plant renowned for its dramatic foliage. Its large, arrow-shaped leaves are adorned with silver veins that contrast beautifully against dark green margins. This plant adds a touch of exotic elegance to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Alocasia Silver Dragon thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow down.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Alocasia Silver Dragon evenly moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering in the winter months but don't let the soil completely dry out.
Humidity Needs: Alocasia Silver Dragon prefers high humidity levels. Aim for humidity around 60-80%. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water (make sure the pot is above the water level).
