Alocasia maharani 'Grey Dragon'

Alocasia maharani 'Grey Dragon' is a dwarf jewel Alocasia hybrid developed by crossing Alocasia reginula (Black Velvet) and Alocasia melo. Its leaves are thick, rigid, and card-like, feeling almost artificial to the touch. The leaf blades have a corrugated, textured surface with a matte, greyish-green color, highlighted by prominent, slightly raised silver-grey primary veins running across the leaf.
