Alocasia cuprea

Jewel Alocasia (mini)

Metallic leaves for advanced keepers with stable humid cabinets.

Jewel alocasias are dramatic but fussy. Only add them once you can hold humidity and avoid cold, waterlogged mix.

Why it works

A statement leaf for large humid displays — not a beginner pathway plant.

Watering notes

Chunky mix; water thoroughly then allow a light dry-back. Never ice-cold water.

Care tips

Stable 18–26°C.
High humidity, gentle airflow.
Watch for spider mites.

Common problems
