Alocasia 'Cuprea' (Red Secret)

Alocasia 'Cuprea' (Red Secret) – The Hidden Gem 🌿❤️

The Alocasia 'Cuprea', often referred to as the Red Secret, is a truly stunning plant that features deep metallic red and copper-colored leaves that shine in the light. Its unique, reflective foliage and heart-shaped leaves make it a showstopper in any plant collection. The color intensifies as the plant matures, adding to its appeal and allure.

🌿 Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some lower light, it will develop more vibrant, metallic leaves with higher light exposure. Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the delicate leaves.
• Water: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
• Humidity: This plant loves high humidity (50% or more). To keep it thriving, use a humidifier or place it in a room with natural humidity, such as a bathroom, or use a pebble tray with water to increase the moisture around the plant.
• Soil: A well-draining mix is essential, ideally a peat-based mix with perlite to ensure good aeration for the roots. Alocasia ‘Cuprea’ likes to have its roots well-ventilated.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and never expose it to temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant monthly with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when growth slows.
• Growth: It can grow to about 2-3 feet in height, but its compact size makes it a perfect indoor plant, especially for smaller spaces.
