Description

The Alocasia Silver Dragon is a captivating houseplant with foliage that resembles dragon scales. Its thick, heart-shaped leaves are silver-grey with dark, contrasting veins — a combination that gives it a mystical, almost magical appearance. This plant is a variation of the Alocasia Baginda and is cherished by plant collectors for its unique texture and color.

Despite its exotic look, it remains compact in size, making it perfect for smaller spaces or as a showpiece on a shelf or side table. Each leaf is like a work of art, and the more it grows, the more impressive its presence becomes. It’s a true conversation starter — a plant that’s not just green, but full of character.

The Silver Dragon is a plant that demands attention but rewards you generously. It’s sensitive to its environment, but with proper care, it will stay healthy and stunning for years. Pair it with other Alocasias or let it shine solo in a stylish pot — either way, it steals the show.

Care tips

The Silver Dragon loves bright, indirect light. Place it where it receives plenty of light, but avoid direct sun — this can scorch its delicate leaves. An east-facing window or a bright corner in your home is ideal. Too little light leads to slow growth and faded colors, so give it a spot where it can truly shine.

As for watering: it has moderate needs. Let the top layer of soil dry out before watering again. It prefers a breathable potting mix that retains moisture but drains well — think a blend of cocopeat, perlite, and bark. Note: it’s sensitive to root rot, so a pot with drainage holes is essential.

The Silver Dragon thrives in high humidity. Mist it regularly or place it near a humidifier. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed it once a month with a foliage fertilizer. It’s mildly toxic, so keep it out of reach of pets. With a little care, it will grow into a true trophy in your plant collection.

Alocasia: krachtig en karaktervol

De Alocasia is een plantensoort met opvallende bladeren, van hartvormig tot puntig en gestructureerd. Sommige soorten doen denken aan olifantsoren, vandaar de bijnaam. Andere hebben juist een meer uitgesproken nerfpatroon of metallic glans. Ze houdt van licht en een beetje vocht, en groeit snel als ze zich thuis voelt. Deze plant heeft een krachtige uitstraling en past goed in ruime, lichte interieurs. Alocasia is een echte groeier met soms zelfs nieuwe babyplantjes aan de voet.
