Alocasia 'Golden Dragon'
A little prehistoric, a lot stunning. Alocasia 'Golden Dragon' is known for its textured, shield-shaped foliage featuring shades of deep green, silvery tones, and striking contrasting veins.

Care Instructions:
☀️ Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
💧 Water: Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy, and make sure the pot has good drainage.
💦 Humidity: Moderate to high humidity preferred. Thrives with 60%+ humidity but can adapt to average household conditions with consistent care.
🏡 Indoor/Outdoor: Best grown indoors. Can be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates in a protected location with bright, filtered light.
🐾 Pet Safe: No. Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
🌱 Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding during periods of slower growth.
Plant Parent Pro Tip:
Golden Dragon loves consistency. Keep it warm, give it plenty of bright indirect light, and avoid dramatic swings between bone-dry and soaking wet soil. Happy roots = bigger, more dragon-like leaves. 🌿🐉✨
