Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret' | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Toxic to pets
Summary: Alocasia 'Red Secret' captivates with its metallic copper-red leaves and sculptural form, bringing rare jewel-toned elegance to any indoor jungle collection.
Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant metallic colours. Avoid direct sun, which can burn its delicate leaves. Ideal for greenhouse cabinets or bright bathrooms with stable humidity.
Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Requires high humidity (above 60–70%) to keep foliage healthy and vibrant. Mist regularly or use a humidifier, especially during dry European winters.
Prefers a rich, airy aroid mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark for drainage and moisture retention. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh nutrients and support growth.
Toxic to pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs to prevent irritation or stomach upset.
Slow-growing jewel Alocasia with leaves developing deeper copper hues as it matures. Propagate via division of offsets during repotting for best success.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Maintain temperatures above 18°C and avoid cold drafts. Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser to encourage strong new growth.
Prone to spider mites and thrips in low humidity conditions. Browning edges often indicate insufficient humidity or fertiliser burn. Inspect regularly and maintain optimal care conditions.
Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret' is native to Borneo and admired for its unique metallic foliage with coppery-red tones and deep veining. A prized jewel Alocasia, it brings luxurious tropical beauty to any European indoor jungle collection.

Perfekt 👌
These came in perfect shape and are so easy. We put them on rocks and soak them in water once a week. Two weeks now and they still look so fresh. That never happens with our plants.
