The Silver Dragon African Mask Plant Alocasia is a visually stunning member of the Elephant Ear family, renowned for its bold, silver-green leaves with dark veins. This exotic houseplant brings tropical beauty into any space, thriving indoors or outdoors in containers. Perfectly sized at 4 inches, it makes an excellent addition to indoor décor or small tropical gardens.
Alocasia grows to a mature height of 8-12 inches, forming dense clusters that enhance its lush appearance over time. It performs best with bright, indirect sunlight and consistent moisture, making it ideal for homes, offices, or shaded balconies. Avoid cold exposure—if temperatures drop, the plant may temporarily die back to the soil line but will revive as conditions warm.
Proper care involves using a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer monthly. This plant is happiest with even moisture levels—never too wet or too dry. In cold climates, it is recommended to keep Alocasia in containers to easily bring it indoors when the temperature drops. With correct care, it will thrive indefinitely in containers and become a beautiful feature of your indoor jungle.
