Dragon Scale maybe?

#### Danny replied on 2023-11-21

Dragon scales look extremely similar! I think you’re right! Thank you. My gosh do I have sympathy for the alocasia community. Both planta and google lens had no idea what I was showing them! Lol!

silver dragon possibly! it looks like it has cooler silver tone on its leaves!

#### Danny replied on 2023-11-21

Lol these silver dragon alocasias look a lot like it too!!! So many alocasias!!! Probably more species of alocasia than people on Earth. Very pretty though! Thank you! I do hope your right because i’m seeing pictures of the grown thing and 😍😍 that silverish undertone is very special!!

omg alocasias are so beautiful and unique im in love with them!! ill keep my fingers crossed for you!! the silver dragon is a beautiful species 💕

Would you happen to have any general tips for alocasias? :) this is my first one!! it’s looking a little sad, I just got it for cheap today! I’ve avoided alocasias for a while seeing as i’m relatively new and i don’t think i could handle a plant death………. 😭😭😭 but i just had to!!! it was the last one, practically begging me to take it home. how could i resist?!?! 😫

#### brynn 🌿 replied on 2023-11-21

totally understand!! it’s so hard to resist! a few tips i have are to make sure it’s in a well draining pot and alocasias like moist/humid conditions but not overly soggy soil as for lighting medium to bright indirect should work just fine! other than that there are tons of great websites on the internet that can give you more in depth information! goodluck!!!
