Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ (11cm pot)

Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ is one of the most sought-after and unusual houseplants, prized for its striking silver-green foliage and dramatic dark veining. The heavily textured leaves resemble dragon scales, giving this rare Alocasia its distinctive name. Compact in size yet full of character, it makes a stunning statement plant for shelves, desks and smaller spaces.

Commonly known as an Elephant Ear Plant, Alocasia species are native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and Eastern Australia. Their exotic foliage and architectural form have made them favourites among houseplant collectors and indoor plant enthusiasts.

Like many Alocasia varieties, Alocasia Silver Dragon grows from underground rhizomes that store water and nutrients. This means the plant is more susceptible to overwatering than many other houseplants. Allow the compost to partially dry between waterings and avoid leaving the plant sitting in water. For best results, provide bright indirect light, high humidity and temperatures above 16°C.

This rare houseplant is perfect for anyone looking to add an unusual tropical plant to their indoor jungle. With proper care, its remarkable foliage becomes even more impressive as the plant matures.
