Alocasia baginda 'Silver Dragon' is a tropical plant native to the warm and humid forests of Southeast Asia. This compact Alocasia is treasured for its dramatic silvery-green, heavily veined leaves that resemble dragon scales.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; consider using a humidifier or pebble tray.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18-27°C; avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Fertiliser: Feed monthly with a diluted liquid fertiliser during the growing season.
Potting: Use a well-draining mix with added perlite or orchid bark to prevent root rot.
Propagation: Best propagated through division of offsets during repotting.
