Alocasia cuprea Culture

Successful cultivation of the captivating Alocasia cuprea. Here are some important cultural tips to ensure its thriving growth:

Light: Alocasia cuprea thrives in bright, indirect light. Filtered sunlight is ideal, as too much direct exposure can scorch its stunning metallic foliage.

Temperature: To mimic its natural habitat, aim for daytime temperatures between 21-27°C (70-80°F) and slightly cooler nights around 18-24°C (65-75°F).

Humidity: Keep humidity levels high at 60-80% and consider using humidifiers or tray methods to achieve this.

Watering: It is crucial to keep the substrate consistently moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. A well-draining mix and frequent watering are recommended for optimum growth.

I received my alocasia cuprea and it was huge possibly 4 leaves but unfortunately it eventually died. I dont think alocasia likes their roots disturbed and then put in the long trip. It came with soft roots. I was sad when it died coz I really loved it. I placed it my greenhouse cabinet with growlights and instermitent mister. Still, it just rotted. The only thing that Im happy is that they left 2 corms. I am growing it right now and they're sprouting already.

The plant arrived in excellent condition with three leaves and lots of healthy roots. The plant I received is massive with the largest leaf well over 12 inches in length - probably the largest cuprea I've ever seen. Definitely impressed!

The plant arrived in really good condition, a new leaf is unfurling, plant is pack well, so there is only minimum damage to the plant itself. However, size is on the smaller scale, the biggest leaf is approximately 3.5 inch long. Overall I'm still happy with the plant.
