What collectors say
Genus
Baginda
Care
Light. Bright, indirect light. Variegated tissue carries less chlorophyll and scorches more easily than green, so filter strong sun.
Water and humidity. Keep the substrate evenly moist, never wet. Aim for 60% humidity or higher.
Feeding. A balanced feed programme through spring and summer; ease off in winter.
Dormancy. An Alocasia that drops its leaves in the cold is usually resting, not dead. Keep it warm and barely moist and it will push again.
Delivery and arrival
Plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday only, so they never sit in a depot over a weekend. Every order is sent with a heat pack and packed plastic-free.
Free UK delivery on orders over £75. Unpack on arrival and give your plant a few days of steady conditions to acclimatise.
Every plant is covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. If there's a problem, email sales@thealocasiacompany.co.uk within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Please don't repot in those first 7 days, as repotting voids the guarantee.
Pet safety
Like all aroids, this plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and children.
About this cultivar
'BAGINDA' SILVER DRAGON AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia Silver Dragon Aurea: Rare Variegated Houseplant
Looking for metallic foliage with golden variegation? The Alocasia Silver Dragon Aurea combines the signature metallic silvery blue-green base colouration of the Silver Dragon with yellow variegation that intensifies under the right light.
Why Plant Collectors Seek Silver Dragon Aurea
This rare yellow-variegated Alocasia cultivar takes the already sought-after Silver Dragon and adds golden sections that sit in clear contrast against the metallic ground. The Aurea sections typically deepen in colour with adequate light exposure, so the plant rewards patient growing over time.
A Silver Dragon Statement Piece for Serious Collections
Well suited to serious Alocasia collectors, this cultivar keeps the same leaf shape and reliable growing characteristics as the standard Silver Dragon while adding yellow variegation. Its rarity and the metallic-golden combination make it a considered addition to an advanced tropical plant collection.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.

- Metallic silvery blue-green base with clear yellow sections
