Silver Dragon Plant (Alocasia silver dragon)

The Alocasia silver dragon gives a striking look with its thick, contrasting coloured leaves, with the bright silvery white lending to it’s name, 

The Silver Dragon Plant is one of many varieties of Alocasia. 

These really are "middle of the ground" plants. They won't tolerate direct sunlight, in fact it can be detrimental to the leaves, and you might see browning and curling as a result. They're also not great in particularly low light levels, and you'll find they will stretch and lean to find light. A fairly bright, indirect light source is ideal.   

The Alocasia silver dragon likes humid conditions, and they make ideal kitchen and bathroom plants. Although they like humidity, let the soil dry out between watering as the leaves can tend to develop rot. 

If you’re looking for a fairly short plant, this is a good choice. Rarely will the silver dragon plant reach heights of over 60cm, normally more around 30-50cm.
