Alocasia Baginda 'Silver Dragon' variegated

Light Requirements

• Indirect Light: Alocasia Baginda ‘Silver Dragon’ Variegated thrives in bright, indirect light. It requires a balance between too much and too little light.
• Ideal Conditions: Place near a north or east-facing window with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun, as it can scorch the leaves, especially the delicate variegated parts.
• Variegation Sensitivity: Variegated plants need slightly more light than non-variegated varieties to maintain their coloration.

 Watering• Moderate Moisture: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Watering Frequency: Water when the soil starts to dry, typically once a week depending on your environment. In winter, reduce watering frequency.
• Humidity Needs: Alocasias prefer high humidity. Maintain at least 60% humidity for optimal growth. Use a humidifier or place the plant on a pebble tray with water to increase moisture levels.
• Overwatering Caution: Avoid letting the plant sit in soggy soil, as Alocasias are prone to root rot.

Temperature

• Tropical Conditions: Alocasia ‘Silver Dragon’ prefers temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (16°C to 27°C).
• Avoid Cold Drafts: Keep the plant away from cold windows, air conditioning vents, or any cold drafts. Prolonged exposure to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) can cause leaf damage and dormancy.
