The Alocasia Cuprea 'Red Secret' always turns heads, and we have often had to convince customers that it is actually a real plant. From thick, lime green stems, grow shield-shaped leaves which look metallic and not of this world. Depending on the angle you view them from, and how the light is hitting them, they can look red, purple, copper, bronze and deep green. A must-have for any plant collector who loves the weird ones! 

Alocasias can be tricky when it comes to watering, as they love moisture but can easily rot, so we wouldn't recommend this to someone who is just starting their indoor gardening journey. However, if you're starting to delve deeper into the weird and wonderful side of indoor gardening this is a real show stopper and is bound to get people talking! 

Native to Borneo, this Alocasia (like most of them) thrives in warm and humid conditions. They are light-loving plants, but their leaves are too sensitive for direct sun, so avoid sunny windowsills. Water when top inch of soil is dry, but never let the soil dry out completely. We recommend growing in moss or semi-hydro if you struggle with growing Alocasias in soil.
