About Alocasia Silver Dragon
Alocasia āSilver Dragonā is a hybrid species whose silvery leaves make it clear how they got their name. Their dark green venation and velvety texture are reminiscent of a fantasy world. As with most Alocasia species, they can only support a few leaves at a time, so donāt be surprised if older leaves yellow and fall away as new ones emerge! š

Sammies recovering!ā¤ļøāš©¹ Thank #thethread you to everyone who helped me through Sammieās problem. Buuuut supervising news! There was no #rot ! All the roots were nice firm and healthy! He did get overwatered just a bit, but not for rot! I still soaked his roots just to be sure. I know the most likely reason why his leafs were very yellow. He was SOOOOOO root bound in that pot. Took me 10 minutes to just take off his old soil, why you may ask? Iām changing soils! Instead of soil for Sammy, he will now have vermiculite! Honesty looks exactly like lechuza pon, and feels like it. I also was looking at the cork and saw babies on the way šā¦ HELP! So yeah Sammy the #alocasiasilverdragon is going to get better. He also wishes you a good day #TheThread ! See the before and after photos! Btw going to start propping a #philodendronfloridabeauty š Tags, @Artonina @Blueberrypie @BuffCaperspurge @captainstardust @cereal @debbiedo @ @DrGreen @elisenavidad @FineFlamevine @FitRiberry92 @kaleena @LilRootedWitch @LadyGreen76 @NikkiBplantmom @Owlnette @planthoe40 @PlantParty401 @Plants_Galore @PoisedAlbo @Preciousplants1 @Prentyce @SleekLatetulip @TheConservator @ToughAnahaw89 @Araceae @LaBori276 @LauraLynne @RJG @ShirleyWhirley @TimmerAnn1002 @princesspitstop @cutepolypremum @swiftwolfsbane #rootbound #repot #Alocasia #AlocasiaSilverDragon #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #BeforeAndAfter #semihydroponics

IM A ALOCASIA DADDY! So this is my story. I went back to my happy place perch plants, originally to buy a anthurium clavernarium. BUT IT WAS 44 DOLLARS FOR A SMALL ONE! And their plants are a STEAL. For example, I could buy a FULL GROWN ficus for 45 dollars there. Thereās the anthurium idea down the drain. So I was looking around for the plant of my dreams, not a peperomia, not getting another philodendron, (at least for another month I canāt resist!) And then I hit alocasias. I promised myself āLuke, (thatās my name) NO ALOCASIASā so I was like fine. But then a saw it. A beautiful Alocasia silver dragon. For 16 dollars! What a deal! And then I remembered what I said about alocasiasā¦. Ehh skrew that ur coming home with me! So I wiped down the leaves, and checked for pests, (which there are none!) and placed it on my bookshelf. Btw itās next to the window! So, how to care for my first alocasia? I really donāt know šš any suggestions or advice that would be good to know for Sammy? PS, I know they go dormant in winter #Alocasia #AlocasiaSilverDragon #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantparent #PlantAddict

Yellow spots on alocasia I have these yellow spots on my alocasiaās newest leaf. I canāt see any sign of pests and itās only on this new leaf. Google is just throwing out pretty much everything it could be š

After weeks of temperature tantrums and losing all but one leaf, this headache of an alo sliver dragon is finally pushing out a new leaf ā a tiny one but a leaf nonetheless ššš© #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #BeforeAndAfter #AlocasiaAddicts #GregGang

Why is my Silver dragon not growing? (Apologies, sheās my 1st alo so Iām not familiar with them) 3 ish weeks ago, I got her in the mail and she had a new shoot that unfortunately shrivelled up. She also had one of her leaves completely dry and drop . Didnāt even repot her yet. Itās mid summer here in Sydney but the week she arrived we had a drop in temp (lowest temp reached 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit) with constant rain so humidity was actually okay. Itās since warmed up and my room temp has been stable at 78deg Fahrenheit with 65-70% humidity. Is she just really slowly acclimating? Did she go into a temp dormancy? The other plants in the same shipment are on their next set of new leaves already š„²Please share your thoughts! #AlocasiaAddicts #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #GregGang

Is this new shoot going to die off? #AlocasiaSilverDragon #NewGrowth Just got this alocasia silver dragon last week. The next day I already saw signs of the new shoot browning. Roots are healthy, leaves took a little hit from shipping but not to bad. Just watered her for the first time since buying her. Overall a healthy alocasiaā¦. Except for this new shoot. Will I lose it ?

2 small leaves 'retiring'? No improvement on Oracle except for tiny new leaf Today, I discovered two small leaves had 'retired' (going yellow and limp). One was new and tiny, the other was there when I bought it, so I had no idea on age. Both look crispy, but the larger one took on a leathery texture, just like the texture on leather gardening gloves. I suppose the smaller one took on a similar texture. I'm noticing a new leaf coming in, but the edge of it feels crisp. I don't think this is just like the regular "three-leaf-Alocasia" thing, I think it is a little different. This is AFTER a repot into Black-Gold potting soil. Recently, I bought Miracle-Gro Tropical Potting Soil, so I can repot into that. What is seriously wrong here? #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #alocasiaaddicts #alocasia #alocasiasilverdragon

Gray-brown spots with translucent halo, as well as browning edge on #alocasiasilverdragon I thought Oracle was doing well despite his stunted growth until I checked up on him and found this. What the heck is this? I'll isolate them in a corner for now. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #alocasia #alocasiaaddicts

How to fix humidity for #alocasiasilverdragon? The new leaves are wilting and curling, and I believe it's a humidity problem. I mist it a lot, but nothing is working. Also, I can't put a humidifier in my room and it's too big for a terrarium. What can I do? #alocasia #alocasiaaddicts #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers
