Alocasia Cuprea

Overview
Alocasia Cuprea, also known as the “Mirror Plant,” is a rare tropical species admired for its metallic, copper-toned foliage. Native to Borneo, this Alocasia features thick, oval-shaped leaves with an iridescent surface that reflects hues of bronze, green, and pink under different lighting. It’s a standout choice for collectors and plant lovers looking for something bold and exotic.

Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Harsh direct sunlight can scorch its metallic leaves.

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering.

• Fertilizer: Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
