Alocasia 'Red Secret'

🌿 Alocasia cuprea ‘Red Secret’

Common Names: Red Secret Alocasia, Elephant Ears

Botanical Name: Alocasia cuprea

Description:

The Alocasia ‘Red Secret’ is a true showstopper with its bold, metallic foliage that shimmers in shades of emerald green and deep red. Each leaf is thick, glossy, and textured with dramatic ridges that give it a sculptural, almost futuristic appeal. Compact in size but big on personality, this plant makes a stunning centerpiece in any collection.

Light:

Prefers a bright, indirect view of the sky. Avoid harsh direct sunlight which can dull or burn its reflective leaves.

Water:

Keep soil consistently moist, allowing only the top 25% of soil to dry between waterings. Use filtered or distilled water if possible—this Alocasia can be a bit sensitive to tap water minerals.

Temperature & Humidity:

Loves warmth and high humidity. Keep away from air vents or cold drafts to protect its delicate foliage.

Pet Safety:

🚫 Toxic to pets if ingested.

Fleurish Tip:

Give your Red Secret a humidity boost by grouping it with other tropicals or setting it on a pebble tray. The higher the humidity, the shinier those stunning leaves will stay! ✨
