Alocasia Silver Dragon

Alocasia baginda ‘Silver Dragon’

Add an extraordinary tropical statement plant to your collection with this rooted and established Alocasia Silver Dragon. Alocasia baginda ‘Silver Dragon’ is prized for its thick, beautifully textured foliage featuring silvery green leaves, deep green veining, and an almost metallic appearance. Its dramatic leaf texture gives the plant a sculptural, prehistoric look that makes it especially popular among collectors of unusual tropical plants.

This healthy starter plant has developed an established root system and is actively growing, giving you a strong foundation for a beautiful mature specimen. As it develops, Silver Dragon produces increasingly impressive leaves with pronounced venation and its characteristic silver coloration. Its relatively compact growth habit makes it particularly well suited for indoor plant collections where space may be limited.
