Can my Silver Dragon be saved? It got underwatered. I watered it and then the leaves perked up and dried out. Not sure what to do.

I would definitely do some googling but the stems are green so I would say that it is still saveable. It might just need some more water

I think this sounds like edema from overwatering actually. I would clip the outside leaves to the main growing trunk. Alocasias are survivors. I had part of a pant die on me and I put the pot outside once the dead plant was removed. It had produced a bunch of corms and they randomly came up during the summer in this pot I’d forgotten outside

Thank you! This gives me hope it’ll survive 🥹

I’d say wait it out and see what happens. Stems is still green and from what i can see, it looks like a new leafs may be forming
