Alocasia Maharani (Grey Dragon) Live Plant

What You Will Receive: You will receive one (1) healthy Alocasia 'Maharani' starter plant, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. This sought-after "Jewel Alocasia" is shipped well-rooted and ready to be potted into your favorite decorative container, offering an affordable entry point into rare plant collecting.

A Living Statue: Own a plant that feels as unique as it looks. The 'Maharani', or Grey Dragon, is famous for its thick, leathery leaves that feel almost like plastic or dragon scales. The foliage features a matte grey-green hue with deep, intricate veining, creating a stiff, sculptural appearance that looks artificial (in the best way possible).

Perfect for Small Spaces: Enjoy exotic tropical vibes without needing a jungle-sized room. As a dwarf "Jewel" variety, this Alocasia remains compact, rarely exceeding 1-2 feet in height. It is the ideal statement piece for desks, coffee tables, terrariums, or bathroom shelves where space is at a premium.

Designer Home Accent: This isn't just a plant; it's a piece of modern art. Its mute, slate-grey tones complement modern, minimalist, and industrial interior decor styles perfectly. It provides a sophisticated visual break from the standard bright greens of common houseplants.

Manageable & Rewarding: While rare, the Grey Dragon is surprisingly adaptable. Unlike its larger cousins, this Jewel Alocasia prefers to dry out slightly between waterings, making it less prone to root rot for attentive parents. It thrives in high humidity, making it an excellent companion for your bathroom or kitchen window.

Care & Guarantee: Unpack immediately. Shipped bare-root/semi-bare root with moisture protection to ensure eco-friendly, safe travel. Jewel Alocasias can be sensitive to shipping; it is normal for them to drop an older leaf while acclimating. We guarantee healthy arrival; please contact us with photos within 24 hours if issues arise.
