🌿 Alocasia Dragon Moon – Metallic Silver Foliage with Dark Jungle Contrast

Alocasia Dragon Moon is a rare and dramatic jewel Alocasia prized for its metallic silver foliage, deep contrasting veining, and heavily textured surface. The broad leaves develop with a luminous moonlit sheen layered across dark green undertones, creating an almost unreal contrast that gives the plant its striking “Dragon Moon” appearance.

Its compact growth habit and bold sculptural foliage make it a standout collector plant, while the rich texture and reflective colouring give mature plants incredible depth and presence. Each leaf feels thick, rugged, and almost reptilian, blending the best features of silver jewel Alocasia with dark tropical tones.

Slow growing but highly rewarding, Dragon Moon quickly becomes the centrepiece of any rare plant collection.

✨ Quick Care Tips:
💧 Water: Keep lightly moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer of substrate to dry slightly between watering.
☀️ Light: Bright indirect light enhances metallic colouring and supports healthy compact growth. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity for optimal leaf expansion and clean foliage edges.
🌡 Temps: Thrives between 20–28 °C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden environmental changes.
🪴 Soil: Performs exceptionally well in our NPG Alocasia Formula or semi-hydro/PON setups, providing the ideal balance of airflow, moisture retention, and root health. Alternatively, use a chunky moisture-retentive aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco, and sphagnum.

🌱 NPG Tip:
Dragon Moon thrives with stability and warmth. Consistent moisture, humidity, and airflow will help maintain its metallic sheen and dramatic textured foliage as it matures 🌿
