Alocasia nebula 'Silver'
Alocasia nebula 'Silver' is a highly distinctive foliage houseplant with thick, shield-shaped leaves in silvery grey, overlaid with deep green veining and darker margins. The heavily textured surface gives each leaf an almost metallic appearance, making this an especially striking choice for collectors.
Compact and slow growing, 'Silver' is best positioned in bright, indirect light with warm temperatures and good humidity. Its unusual colouring and sculptural foliage make it ideal for shelves, plant stands and grouped tropical displays.
- Other names: Silver Alocasia, Silver Nebula
- Useful to know: Toxic if ingested - keep away from pets and children
- Feature: Metallic silver-grey leaves with contrasting dark green veining
- Eventual height: Can grow to approximately 50-60cm
- Origins: Alocasia nebula originates from Borneo
Alocasia Care Sheet
Light: Needs bright but indirect light, as strong full sun will scorch the foliage. The leaves turn toward the light so rotate the plant to prevent it leaning
Water: Requires regular watering to keep the soil moist, but not saturated. As a rainforest plant it is used to growing in damp conditions. Browning leaf edges are a sign of underwatering, and water droplets on the leaf tips indicate the plant sweating out excess moisture, called guttation. Reduce watering if this occurs
Soil/Nutrition: Well-draining houseplant compost mix, feed monthly in spring and summer
Humidity: Enjoys regular misting, or a pebble tray to replicate the humid rainforest environment
Pruning and propagation: Dust the leaves to help keep the plant in top condition. Trim off faded leaves to keep neat. Can be propagated by rhizome division of the corms in spring and summer
