Alocasia Silver Dragon

We really love Alocasia Silver Dragon, it’s like something from a fantasy story of dragons and princesses! Alocasia Dragon Scale, or the Dragon Scale plant is a really fascinating foliage plant, with enormous leaves marked and textured that look a bit like a dragon’s scales, hence the name. Finding Alocasia Dragon Scale in the UK is always hard, it’s a rare plant. 

Fabulous in a terracotta pot on top of a dresser, the Dragon scale plant has silvery leaves with dark green, deep veins running through it – and under the leaf is pale silvery-white with burgundy veins.  This interesting houseplant really catches the eye with its stunning looks.
