Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light
The Alocasia will thrive in medium to bright, indirect sunlight. Be aware that they are not suited to low light or direct sunlight - which can scorch their leaves.

Watering Schedule
Weekly watering
Keep the soil moist but not wet. Allow top 2" of soil to dry out in between watering. This plant is not drought tolerant, and extended periods of dryness will cause leaf edges to brown. Water less in winter.

Humidity
High Humidity

Plant Bio
Alocasia Cuprea
Native to the rainforests of Borneo and South America, this is an unusual metalic alocasia. 'Cuprea' means 'copper' and refers to the copper tone to the leaves. Alocasia are also in the Aroids family (Araceae), and can be easily propagated in water because they have a semi-aquatic, swamp-dwelling ancestry.
