Description
Its pretty grey-green leaves have a silky texture and a silvery underside, which is why this Alocasia is sometimes called Silver Dragon or Grey Dragon. It is rarely found on the market and is therefore sought after by collectors. Due to its compact growth, it is also well suited for terrariums or locations with less space.
