The Silver Dragon Alocasia really lives up to its name! The leaves are a true silvery hue with dark, heavily contrasting veins. On the underside of the leaves, the veins are an attractive red to purple shade. This is a stout variety of Alocasia that can tolerate low light, but does best in bright. Water your alocasia when the soil is 50-75% dry.
While members of the Alocasia genus, like other Aroids, have insoluble calcium oxalates, which make them unsafe for cats or dogs, as they cause mouth irritation and GI upset, they are a fantastic addition to tropical bioactive enclosures! Reptiles can tolerate these crystals and often will leave the plants alone. Their leaves are thick enough to hold mature geckos and most frogs.
Plants will be shipped bare root and are suitable for a 4 inch pot. Photos are representative and some variation should be expected.
