Common Name: Dragon Scale Alocasia
Scientific Name: Alocasia baginda 'Silver Dragon'
Family: Araceae
Cultivar Intro: Alocasia baginda 'Silver Dragon' stands out as a captivating tropical gem, drawing attention with foliage that feels like a nod to ancient legends. What makes this cultivar truly remarkable is its one-of-a-kind leaf structure: thick, arrowhead-shaped blades that carry a luminous, silvery-green base, almost as if dusted with moonlight. Over this shimmering backdrop, bold, deep green veins weave an intricate, raised pattern—each ridge and line mimicking the textured scales of a dragon, a detail that inspired its evocative name.
Compact by nature, it grows in a tidy, clumping form, making it a perfect fit for spaces where larger tropical plants might feel overwhelming. Unlike some flashy varieties that rely on bright colors alone, 'Silver Dragon' charms with subtlety: the metallic sheen of its leaves shifts slightly in different lights, while the vein pattern adds depth that invites close inspection. It’s a plant that bridges the gap between exotic allure and approachable size, appealing to both seasoned collectors and those new to tropical gardening.
