✨ Why You'll Love the Alocasia baginda ‘Silver Dragon’

• Low footprint but high visual impact in modern interiors.
• Highly collectible and loved by rare plant enthusiasts across Europe.

🌞 Light & Placement

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.

💧 Water & Humidity

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.

🪴 Soil & Potting

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.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Not pet-safe. Like other Alocasias, the ‘Silver Dragon’ contains calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

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.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Growth may slow in winter; reduce watering and stop fertilising until spring. During the active growing season, feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser.

🐛 Common Issues

May attract spider mites or mealybugs if air is too dry. Yellow leaves often signal overwatering, while crispy edges point to low humidity.

🧬 Botanical Background
