Your newest Alocasia obsession! The Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ boasts thicker, more rigid leaves than it’s cousins but it’s most spectacular feature is it’s silver coloring. Under the right care, the leaves of this plant truly do begin to take on the look of Dragon’s skin. This is a thirsty plant, so if you want it to be able to support more than a few stalks you’ll need to make sure the soil stays evenly moist and that you’re able to maintain a balanced fertilization schedule. If LECA is your thing, the Alocasia is a great candidate for hydroponic growing!

Testimonials

★★★★★

This shop has great customer service. Although they mainly sell pots they also have a few plants to sell. I bought one of these plants and it shipped very fast. The plant I received is beautiful but it was the wrong plant. I contacted the shop right away. I told them I will keep the plant but I’d still want to buy the one I wanted. The plant I wanted also cost less so I offered to pay the difference too. The shop apologized for the mistake and said they will send the right plant right away and to keep the plant i already received. I thought that was awesome, thoughtful and very professional and that goes a long way. Thank you so much and I really appreciate that.

Simply a beautiful and artistic Peety pot. Will be the pot for an Adenia metamorpha and the two will definitely display awesome artistry.
