Alocasia Cuprea Red Secret

Botanical Name: Alocasia Cuprea Red Secret

Common Name(s): Red Secret Alocasia, Cuprea Red Secret, Elephant Ear

The Alocasia Red Secret is a stunning and bold houseplant that is sure to make a statement in any indoor space. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant features large, glossy, arrowhead-shaped leaves that transition from deep green to rich, reddish-copper with a metalic sheen. The undersides of the leaves often display a deeper, richer red.

The dark, velvety foliage is contrasted by prominent red undersides that create a contrasting effect, making it a striking addition to your plant collection. This Alocasia is sometimes called the "Mirror Plant" due to the reflective quality of its leaves

To keep your Cuprea Red Secret thriving, provide bright, indirect light to maintain the vibrant colors of its leaves. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it may cause the foliage to burn. It prefers consistently moist soil, but be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. This plant thrives in warm, humid conditions, ideally between 65-85°F (18-27°C), so ensure a humid environment to prevent leaf browning and wilting.

Note: The Alocasia Red Secret is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and children for safety.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Wipe leaves regularly: The stunning silver leaves of this plant are prone to dust, so regularly wipe them with a damp cloth.
  2. Ideal growth for small spaces: This Alocasia tends to be more compact and slow-growing, making it an ideal for smaller spaces.
  3. Repot every 1-2 years: This prefers to be slightly root-bound, so only repot every 1-2 years, or when you notice the roots outgrowing the pot
  4. Use a Humidifier: This Alocasia thrives best in a very humid environment so having a humidifer is very helpful. 
  5. Toxic if ingested: Like other Alocasias, the Alocasia Red Secret is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
