Has anyone here had experience with the Silver Velvet (Alocasia Silver Dragon) plant? I recently came across it at a local nursery, and I couldn't resist its striking, unique leaves. I'm curious about the best care practices.
Light: How much light does it actually need? I've read conflicting advice about keeping it in bright indirect light versus more shaded areas.
Watering: What’s the watering schedule that works for you? I've heard they prefer to dry out a bit between waterings, but does that hold true in more humid environments?
Humidity: How do you maintain the proper humidity without overdoing it? I've got a humidifier but don't want to cause any mold issues.
Potting Soil: Is there a specific type of soil mix that keeps them healthiest?
Common Issues: Lastly, what are some common problems you've encountered, and how did you resolve them? I want to be prepared for anything that might arise.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
