Alocasia 'Silver Dragon'

This plant is part of our 'Home Grown Propagations & Cuttings' collection, please visit this page for more information. Potsize (diameter): 5.5 cm. As photographed, rooting in moss and grown from corm taken from our mother plants. The Alocasia 'Dragon Scale' is a stunning plant with deep green leaves which develop even more definition with age! A truly show stopping plant - we think it pairs perfectly with our Alocasia ‘Yucatan Princess’. In the winter, your Alocasia could go into hibernation, causing its leaves to die back - but don't worry! It will return bigger and healthier in Spring. Care: Light: Bright, indirect light will produce the best colouration on the leaves, however direct light will burn the leaves and cause brown, crispy tips. Water: Keep the plant moist but not soaking, for best results a small amount of water often. For best results water from underneath with the use of a saucer to reduce the chance of root rot. Reduce watering during winter months. Food: Feed once a month during growing season, if available a slow release food works best to not over power the soil. Humidity: A high humidity is essential in maintaining this plant’s dramatic appearance. A decreased humidity will produce brown, crispy leaves and reduced growth. Care tip: It is common for Alocasia to discard an old leaf after growing a new one. During the colder months your Alocasia could lose several of it's leaves or even go dormant - don't panic! It will grow back bigger and stronger in the Spring.
