Alocasia Baginda “Silver Dragon” is one of those tropical evergreens that magically draws you towards it in a nursery and won’t let you leave until you’ve purchased it. An absolutely stunning houseplant, this Alocasia is sure to impress or expand any plant collection. In fact, there’s something ghostly about the Silver Dragon with a texture that resembles dragon scales.
Under dappled light conditions the glossy silver takes over the leaves whereas the veins take a deep green color. The leaves look like spades or pointy hearts but are actually peltate, i.e. the anterior lobes are joined together. The shape of the leaves are often compared with dragon.
The plant is sold in a plastic grow pot. Add a decorative pot to complete the look.
