# I recently bought this plant from Home Depot. My PictureThis…

_Gepostet von Criss am 2025-04-09_

I recently bought this plant from Home Depot. My PictureThis identified it as a Caladium but searching it up online none of the photos match. The closet thing I could find was Alocasia silver dragon.

Can anyone help me confirm the name of this plant 😊

Alocasia Melo or a “Jewel Alocasia” Beautiful! (I first thought an alocasia maharani called a “grey dragon” .)

Thank you!

I would say a Melo. The Jewel is shiny and purpley, this is rough and has distinct textures on the leaves.

Omg duh I just realized what I said. The Jewels are a group of Alocasias and Melo is in it. I was thinking specifically about Cupreas and Azlaniis, which this is definitely not due to the reasons above.

It’s a Alocasia they always have plants labeled wrong
