Alocasia Cuprea 4" Pot

Overview:
The Alocasia Cuprea, also known as the Red Jewel Alocasia, is a rare and exotic tropical plant prized for its metallic, copper-toned foliage. Its thick, leathery leaves have a striking reflective sheen, giving them an almost liquid-metal appearance. The unique texture and deep green to reddish hues make this plant a true standout in any collection. Compact in size yet bold in presence, the Alocasia Cuprea is perfect for plant enthusiasts who appreciate rare and visually striking foliage.

Light/Water Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its intense metallic sheen. Can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives best with consistent bright lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause leaf scorching.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The Cuprea prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.

Size Information:

• Comes in a 4" pot, ideal for small spaces such as desks, shelves, or plant stands.
• With proper care, the Alocasia Cuprea can grow up to 1-2 feet tall, with its dramatic, metallic leaves becoming the focal point of any space.

Ideal for:

• Indoor environments where its shiny, jewel-like leaves can be admired, such as living rooms, offices, or bedrooms.
• Perfect for collectors and plant lovers looking for a rare and exotic houseplant with a unique aesthetic.

Care Tips:

• Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even light exposure and balanced growth.
• Mist the plant regularly or place it near a humidifier, as the Cuprea thrives in high humidity environments.
• Wipe the leaves gently to remove dust and enhance their glossy, metallic appearance.

Pet-Friendliness Rating:
