Alocasia baginda ‘Silver Dragon’ Medium | Pot size 12 cm | Height 25 cm | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU
Summary: With its dramatic, scale-like leaves in shimmering silver and deep green veins, this compact Alocasia adds a mythical touch to German apartments and European homes. A true statement piece for plant lovers seeking rare foliage beauty.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch the delicate leaves. Ideal for east- or north-facing rooms in German and European homes.
Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2 cm to dry between waterings. Loves higher humidity (60–70%). Place near a humidifier or group with other tropical plants for best results.
Plant in a loose, well-draining aroid mix with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir. Repot every 1–2 years to give roots more space and refresh nutrients.
Not pet-safe. Like other Alocasias, the ‘Silver Dragon’ contains calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or children.
This Alocasia stays compact, making it perfect for smaller EU flats. New leaves unfurl with a striking silvery sheen. Propagation is possible by carefully dividing offsets at the rhizome during repotting.
Growth may slow in winter; reduce watering and stop fertilising until spring. During the active growing season, feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
May attract spider mites or mealybugs if air is too dry. Yellow leaves often signal overwatering, while crispy edges point to low humidity.
Alocasia baginda, native to Borneo, is renowned for its thick, textured leaves. The ‘Silver Dragon’ cultivar is among the most sought-after for its rare metallic colouring, making it a jewel in any European plant collection.

The plant looks exactly like the photo. It has good soil and root system. Unfortunately, delivery to Cyprus took a long time, so it needs some rehabilitation. But I'm still very impressed!

My experience at plant circle: I ordered 5 plants, alocasia to Slovenia, but Loco was sold out, they informed me about this and gave me the choice of another plant or a refund, my decision is to get another Frydek plant. The shipment of plants arrived carefully packaged without damage. But the alocasia was not in the package, at first I was disappointed, but the next day I was surprised, DPD delivered and made up for my Frydek plant. I received a notification from plant circle that they forgot to send it in the first shipment and sent it back without any additional costs. plant circle is one of the best indoor plant stores, you deserve a rating of 10 not just 5. Thank you.

Alles perfekt
