Alocasia cuprea Pink - Preorder

Alocasia cuprea Pink is a rare cultivated form of Alocasia cuprea, a jewel Alocasia native to Borneo. The species is known for its thick glossy leaves with a metallic copper to bronze sheen and bold veining. In the Pink form the reflective foliage is overlaid with soft pink tones that appear as marbling or subtle blushing across the leaf surface creating a delicate contrast against the darker metallic base. Each leaf develops its own unique coloration making this plant a highly decorative collector specimen.

As a selectively cultivated form with naturally slow growth this plant is best suited for controlled indoor environments where stable conditions allow its color and texture to fully develop.

Care guide

Light
Bright indirect light. Provide strong filtered light to support healthy growth and maintain the metallic sheen and pink coloration. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.

High Humidity
High to very high humidity is recommended ideally above sixty five percent. Consistent humidity helps preserve leaf texture and reduces stress.

Soil
Light chunky soil mix. Use an airy and well draining aroid substrate to protect the roots and prevent compaction.

Watering
Keep evenly moist. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or remain waterlogged.

Temperature
Keep it warm between twenty and twenty eight degrees Celsius or sixty eight to eighty two degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer
Light regular feeding during the growing season supports slow steady growth. Use a balanced fertilizer at low strength.

Growth habit and additional care
Compact upright growth with no climbing behavior. This plant is sensitive to stress low humidity and inconsistent care. Stable conditions minimal handling and a consistent routine are essential for long term success.
