How much light does the Alocasia Silver Dragon need?
The Alocasia Silver Dragon is a plant that likes a lot of light. It is just not a fan of direct sunlight. So it is best to put it in a light place without too much direct sunlight. So it is best not to place it directly at a southern window. Looking for plants that like more direct sun? You can find them here .
Like most Alocasias it grows towards the light. It is therefore advisable to turn it a quarter turn every week so that it continues to grow upright.
How much water does the Silver Dragon need?
Never let the soil dry out completely, but make sure that it never stands in the water for too long. It will show you when it needs water. If its leaves start to droop, it needs some water. If it gets yellow spots on its leaves, it has had too much water.
You can test it by sticking your finger in the soil. If the soil is dry you can water it. If the soil still feels wet, you should wait a few more days.
The ideal temperature for Alocasias
Although the Alocasia Silver Dragon is a sturdy plant, it does not like big temperature fluctuations. So be careful with the heater/heater in the winter and with the air conditioning in the summer.
The ideal temperature for the Alocasia Silver Dragon is between 15°C and 35°C
Power supply
You can stimulate growth by giving him a little extra nutrition specifically for jungle plants every month in spring (from March-April). Be careful not to do this too often as the soil can become acidic and this certainly does not benefit growth.
