The lighter, silvery twin of Dragon Scale, Alocasia Silver Dragon, has a frigid pale silver-green tone that gives it an almost otherworldly appearance. It has the same deeply textured, puckered leaf surface. New leaves appear in a light, nearly translucent pale green before developing into the distinctive silver tone, and the pronounced dark veins contrast sharply with this silvery base.
The Alocasia Dragon Scale gets its name from its strongly bullate leaves, which have a raised, puckered surface between the veins that resembles a three-dimensional scale. Each cell's color changes from dark emerald in the center to a lighter silver-green at the periphery, with a faint metallic shine that gets stronger in bright light.
