With majestic, silver coated, scale-like leaves, the Alocasia Silver Dragon is a sight to behold. True to its name, the Alocasia Silver Dragon looks like it was plucked right from the mythical creature itself. And the epithet, baginda, translates to ‘King’ or ‘Majesty’ denoting a royal-like significance of this plant.
PLANT CARE:
Light: Most Alocasia species would prefer to live in a room receiving an ample amount of natural light, but a medium to bright indirect light would be the most ideal.
It’s important to choose a strategic location where the plant would not be subject to any direct sunlight as this may damage and scorch the silvery leaves. We certainly don’t want that!
Watering: Let the soil mix dry half way to 3/4th before watering again. Donot over water the plant. Over watering results in rotting of roots.
DO'S AND DONT'S AFTER RECEIVING THE PLANT:
- Do not re-pot the plant immediately after receiving. We’ve taken care of that with better pot and rich soil.
- Check for the moisture level once you receive the plant. If its optimally moist do not water the plant. If the potting mixture is half dry then water the plant.
