🌿 Alocasia Cuprea ‘Red Secret’ Care Guide

Mysterious, glossy, and oh-so-glam—the Red Secret looks like it walked straight off a fashion runway. With metallic, deep red to copper leaves that shimmer in the light, this plant is pure drama in the best possible way. A true collector’s gem.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Too little light and the bold color may fade

• Avoid harsh direct sun—it can scorch those delicate metallic leaves

💧 Water

• Keep the soil lightly moist, but never waterlogged

• Allow the top inch to dry before watering again

• Loves consistency—try not to let it fully dry out

🌫️ Humidity

• A true tropical—high humidity is essential

• Mist often, cluster with other plants, or keep near a humidifier

• Dry air can lead to brown tips, so keep it cozy

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a gentle, balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding during autumn and winter rest

🌱 Quick Tips

• Rotate occasionally for balanced growth

• Gently wipe those glossy leaves to keep their metallic sheen

• Not pet-safe—best admired out of reach of furry friends
