Description
Alocasia Silver Dragon has thick, textured, silvery-sage leaves etched with darker veins, a bit like dragon scales. It stays compact, so it's a popular collector's plant for small spaces.
Place it in bright, indirect light and water only when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, since it dislikes soggy roots. It may slow down or drop a leaf in winter; that's normal.

Care guide

- Water: Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil is dry (about once a week in summer, every 10–14 days in winter). Always empty excess water from the saucer.
- Humidity: Loves humidity. Mist a few times a week or keep on a pebble tray, especially with AC running.
- Pet safety: Not pet safe: keep out of reach of cats, dogs and small children (mildly toxic if chewed).
- Care level: Moderate
