A shimmering silver treasure for your indoor jungle
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.
✨ Why You'll Love the Alocasia baginda ‘Silver Dragon’
- Exotic silver foliage with a unique dragon-scale texture.
- Medium size (P12, H25 cm) – perfect for desks, shelves, or side tables.
- 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
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.

Super good packaging and the plant looked great! after just a few days after arrival a new leaf appeared, so I am super happy and can´t wait to have the little babies grow!
The Alocasia itself is beautiful and healthy, with a lovely new leaf already developing. However, the packaging method used for shipping was very disappointing. The pots were stacked together in a way that put strong pressure on the stems during transport for several days, which caused permanent bending on some petioles and damage to one leaf.
At first, my concerns were underestimated, but after additional photos and explanations, Plant Circle handled the situation professionally and offered a fair partial refund, which I appreciated.
So overall, the plant is beautiful, but the packaging method for large Alocasias clearly needs improvement.
The leaves were wrinkled from shipping.
The plant arrived with a torn leaf due to shipping.
Dropped 2 small leaves while in transit, but plant looks healthy
