Alocasia Maharani

The Alocasia Maharani (often called the "Grey Dragon") is a striking jewel alocasia known for its highly textured, silvery-green foliage. Here is how to keep it thriving:

**Lighting:** Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sun will quickly scorch its stiff, leathery leaves, while too little light stunts its growth.

**Watering:** Allow the top two inches of soil to dry completely before watering. This plant is highly susceptible to root rot, so ensure the pot has excellent drainage and never leave it sitting in water.

**General Care:** Plant it in a chunky, well-draining aroid soil mix (orchid bark, perlite, potting soil). It thrives in high humidity (60%+) and warm temperatures (65–85°F). Fertilize monthly with a diluted fertilizer during the active growing seasons.
