Expert Care for Your Prized Specimen
The Silver Dragon rewards patience and precise care. Success with this plant is a true mark of a green thumb.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Protect its delicate metallic leaves from harsh direct sun, which can cause scorching. It does exceptionally well under LED grow lights.
Water & Soil: Requires perfect drainage. Water only when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. A chunky, well-aerated aroid mix is essential to prevent moisture-related issues and root rot.
Humidity & Temperature: Thrives in high humidity (60%+). For optimal health and to encourage new growth, provide elevated humidity via a pebble tray, humidifier, or terrarium. It prefers warm, stable temperatures between 65°F - 80°F (18°C - 27°C).
