Alocasia Silver Dragon (4")

Alocasia Silver Dragon | 4” Pot
A Mythical Treasure with a Southern Soul

At Wrights Market, we believe every plant tells a story—and the Alocasia Silver Dragon is pure Southern folklore in a pot. With her silvery, scale-like leaves edged in deep green, she looks like something out of a fairytale, mysterious and mesmerizing. She's a true gem from the warm, tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, where she first caught the world’s attention with her mythical beauty and bold spirit.

This variety of Alocasia, lovingly nicknamed “Silver Dragon,” gets her name from her foliage that mimics the shimmer of dragon scales—soft silver with deep, sculpted veins. Though she looks like royalty, she’s happy to settle into a quiet corner of your home with the right care and a little Southern hospitality.

She thrives best in bright, indirect light, shielded from harsh rays—think dappled porch light or a cozy spot near a sunlit window. She prefers soil that drains well, and just a sip of water when the top inch feels dry. Keep her in a humid space if you can—she loves warm, moist air, much like the Southern summers we know well. And while she can bloom on rare occasion, her foliage is the real head-turner—bold, structured, and full of quiet grace.

In the language of plants, the Alocasia Silver Dragon symbolizes protection, strength, and grace under pressure. She’s a reminder that even in the calmest corners, power can be gentle and beauty can be bold.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light

• Water: Allow soil to partially dry out between waterings

• Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity—perfect for kitchens or bathrooms

• Soil: Loose, well-draining mix rich in organic matter

• Toxicity: Not pet-friendly—keep out of reach of furry family members

Perfect Plant Pairings:

• Ficus Audrey – for soft, upright elegance that won’t compete with her bold texture

• Pilea Peperomioides – to balance her drama with playful round leaves

• Alocasia Black Velvet – a perfect sister plant for a moody, mythical display

Place her where stories are told, prayers are whispered, or morning light spills through lace curtains. She’s more than a plant—she’s a whisper of wonder and a reminder of nature’s imagination.

From our home to yours, may she bring a touch of magic, strength, and quiet joy.
