Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot where it receives plenty of ambient light without direct sun hitting the leaves, which can cause scorching.
No, the Alocasia Silver Dragon is toxic to household pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
We recommend waiting at least one week before repotting. This allows the plant to acclimate to the humidity and temperature of your home environment after shipping.
While a weekly schedule is a good baseline, always check the soil first. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot, as Alocasias prefer consistent moisture rather than being waterlogged.
The Silver Dragon prefers high humidity and consistent indoor temperatures between 65-85°F. If your home is particularly dry, placing it near a humidifier or in a bathroom with a window can help it thrive.
