The Ultimate Alocasia Growing Guide: Tips and Care Information

 

Photographs are representative of the species and not always of the specific plant shipped. Normal variations in size, pruning and leaf structure may occur.

Sun: Indirect

Alocasia Silver Dragon prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch its leaves. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or provide artificial light if natural light is limited.

Light: Medium - Bright

Adequate lighting is essential for the Alocasia Silver Dragon to thrive. Ensure it receives bright, indirect light throughout the day. Avoid placing it in dimly lit areas, as this can lead to leggy growth and loss of variegation.

Water: When mostly dry

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically once a week. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Alocasia plants are susceptible to root rot.

Humidity: Any

Alocasia Silver Dragon prefers high humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a humidity tray filled with water to increase moisture levels around the plant. Alternatively, use a humidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While Alocasia Silver Dragon is not considered toxic to pets, it's still advisable to keep it out of reach of curious pets. Ingesting large quantities of any plant can cause gastrointestinal upset in pets. Monitor your pets' behavior around the plant and seek veterinary advice if necessary.

Pro Tip

To prevent waterlogging and maintain optimal soil moisture levels, consider using a well-draining potting mix composed of a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
