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.

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.
