About This Plant


Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ is beloved for its thick, almost frosted silver-green leaves crossed by dramatic dark veins that give it a reptilian, scaled appearance. Native to the jungles of Borneo, it stays relatively compact, making it a manageable way to own one of the most photogenic aroids around. It thrives in bright, indirect light and consistently-but-lightly moist soil with high humidity — a pebble tray or humidifier helps it look its best. Let the top inch dry between waterings and avoid soggy roots. Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep it out of reach.

Care Guide

Light

Bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun.

Watering

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
