Alocasia 'Silver Dragon'

Alocasia Silver Dragon is a compact, jewel-like rare Alocasia that collectors seek out for its extraordinary foliage. Its heart-shaped leaves are a pale, silvery mint-green with deeply impressed dark veins that create a raised, almost embossed texture across the surface of every leaf. It stays small and compact, making it ideal for terrariums, plant shelves, and curated collections where every plant earns its place.

Good for beginners? It requires more care than beginner-friendly plants. Silver Dragon prefers consistent humidity and careful watering. It is well-suited to plant enthusiasts ready to step up their care routine.

Safe for cats and dogs? Alocasia is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: Bright indirect light keeps the silver tones most vivid and the veining most defined. Avoid direct sun and very low light conditions.

Care at a glance: Keep soil lightly and evenly moist. Never let it sit in water or dry out completely. High humidity is important — mist regularly or place near a humidifier. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer.
