This highly sought-after and incredibly rare cultivar is a dazzling rendition of the beloved 'Silver Dragon', featuring its iconic, textured, shield-like leaves, but elevated with breathtaking splashes and marbling of vibrant golden-yellow and bright lime-green against the signature silvery-green backdrop.

Majestic Scales, Golden Hues
The 'Silver Dragon' Aurea Variegated is a compact Alocasia, making it perfect for shelves, tabletops, or terrariums where its intricate details can be admired up close. The striking golden-yellow variegation contrasts exquisitely with the dark, dragon-scale-like veins and the silvery-green base, creating a dynamic visual display that is truly captivating.

This plant is a collector's dream, offering an unparalleled level of visual intrigue and elegance.
The TC Advantage
Our tissue culture (TC) propagation ensures you receive a robust, pest-free plant with multiple growth points already established. This meticulous process guarantees a healthy start, free from common pests and diseases often associated with traditionally propagated Alocasias, giving your 'Silver Dragon' Aurea Variegated the strongest foundation for its stunning, consistent growth.
Care & Growth
Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage the most vibrant variegation and prevent reversion. Too much direct sunlight can easily scorch the sensitive variegated portions of the leaves. An east or west-facing window is often ideal.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Alocasias prefer consistently moist, but not soggy, soil. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering in the cooler, dormant months.
Humidity: This tropical plant absolutely thrives in high humidity (ideally 60% or above). Regular misting, a humidifier, or placement in a naturally humid environment like a bathroom is highly recommended to prevent crispy leaf edges and promote lush growth.
Soil: Use a very well-draining, airy, and chunky aroid mix that provides good aeration while retaining some moisture. A blend containing coco coir, perlite, orchid bark, and horticultural charcoal is excellent. Avoid dense, water-retentive potting soil.
Temperature: Maintain consistent warm temperatures, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops, as Alocasias are sensitive to chill and may go dormant if temperatures fall too low.
Pet Safety Statement
Please note: This plant is not pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by animals. Keep out of reach of curious pets.
With its rare golden variegation and iconic textured leaves, the Alocasia 'Silver Dragon' Aurea Variegated is an unparalleled jewel for any discerning plant enthusiast. Embrace its mythical beauty and let this golden-scaled treasure illuminate your collection!
