Growing Alocasia cuprea
Successful cultivation of the captivating Alocasia cuprea. Below are some important growing tips to ensure its thriving growth:
Light: Alocasia cuprea grows well in bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight is ideal, as too much direct exposure can burn its stunning metallic foliage.
Temperature: To mimic its natural habitat, aim for daytime temperatures between 70 and 80°F (21 and 27°C) and slightly cooler nights around 65 and 75°F (18 and 24°C).
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels between 60 and 80% and consider using humidifiers or tray methods to achieve this.
Watering: It is essential to keep the substrate consistently moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. A well-draining mix and frequent watering are recommended for optimal growth.
