Alocasia Silver Dragon

Light Prefers bright, indirect light near a window with filtered sunlight. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate medium light but may grow slower or produce smaller leaves.

Water Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Use room-temperature water and ensure the pot has good drainage. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months when growth slows.

Temperature and Humidity Thrives in warm, humid environments between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid cold drafts, air conditioners, or sudden temperature changes. Increase humidity with a humidifier, pebble tray, or by grouping plants together.

Soil Use a well-draining, airy mix such as potting soil combined with perlite and orchid bark or coco coir. Avoid heavy, compacted soil that retains too much water.

Fertilizer Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.

Repotting Repot every 1–2 years or when roots begin circling the pot. Choose a pot one size larger with adequate drainage.
