Alocasia 'Silver Dragon'

15 cm high

Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn and fading. It can tolerate partial shade but maintains the best color and form in well-lit conditions.

Watering:
Keep the soil lightly moist, but not wet. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out before watering again. The plant is sensitive to overwatering—ensure the pot has proper drainage.

Humidity:
Prefers high humidity (ideally over 60%). Dry air may lead to crispy leaf edges and slow growth. Use a humidifier or group plants together to maintain moisture levels.

Temperature:
Best kept between 18–26 °C (65–79 °F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, especially in winter.

Soil:
Plant in a well-aerated, fast-draining mix—such as one containing coco coir, bark, perlite or pumice, and a small amount of peat or humus. Avoid dense, heavy soils.

Feeding:
During the growing season (spring through early fall), apply a diluted balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks. No feeding is needed during dormancy in winter.
