Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret'

Care at a glance

Water

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

Light

Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light will lead to leggy growth.

Humidity

Requires high humidity, ideally above 60%.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).

Soil

Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix rich in organic matter.

Fertilizer

Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing oral irritation and digestive upset.

Propagation

Propagate by dividing rhizomes or offsets during repotting in spring or early summer. Ensure each division has at least one growth point.
