Alocasia Cuprea | Red Secret
What a stunner! Iridescent and quilted looking leaves in metallic red and green. This beauty from Borneo can get as tall as 1m, and is even more surprisingly a hardier variety of Alocasia. These are found at the base of large tropical flowers and the metallic shine is said to capture any light that comes through the canopy. The brighter light conditions the more iridescent she looks.
Size: 14cm nursery pot

Light - bright, indirect light will give a lush and colourful plant. Avoid direct sun as this will quickly deteriorate the plant.
Water - Keep the soil moist at all times, but over winter let the top inch of the soil dry out between watering. We recommend you check the soil every 3-4 days.
Temperature - Normal room temperature is recommended but a bathroom or kitchen with high humidity is ideal as well. Mist your plant frequently.
Repotting - We recommend a well-draining aroid soil (fresh compost) with additions of orchid bark, perlite, activated charcoal or worm castings.
Toxicity - Toxic to pets.
