Alocasia Maharani
Alocasia Maharani, often referred to as the "Silver Dragon" or "Maharani," is a striking indoor plant known for its unique and highly textured foliage. The plant features dark, metallic green leaves with prominent silver veining and a distinctive, almost quilted appearance. Its bold and exotic look adds a touch of drama and sophistication to any bioactive vivarium or indoor plant collection.
Care
Lighting Requirement: Alocasia Maharani thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and exhibit less vibrant foliage. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering & Humidity: Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Alocasia Maharani prefers high humidity, so regular misting or the use of a humidity tray can help maintain optimal moisture levels and support healthy growth.
Temperature Requirement: The ideal temperature range for Alocasia Maharani is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to ensure it remains healthy and vibrant.
