GENERAL INFORMATION
- Alocasia silver dragon is a variety of Alocasia Baginda, one of the 97 species of the eponymous genus of exotic plants with extremely decorative leaves from the Araceae family.
- Baginda Alocasias are native to Borneo, where these herbaceous perennials with prominent features grow in the ground layers of tropical forests.
- It is a dwarf species that when grown indoors reaches only 1.5 to 2 feet in spread and height.
- The pronounced ribs give the foliage an unusual texture reminiscent of dragon scales and the emerald green color of the leaves has a silvery sheen that is even more pronounced by the dark green color of the veins.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- It thrives in loose, porous, well-drained soils and can also be mixed with compost.
