Pale cream, yellowish or light green markings break across the metallic copper-red leaves of Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret' Variegata. The rounded peltate blades keep the reflective surface associated with 'Red Secret', with speckles, marbling or larger pale areas appearing across the foliage.
This compact jewel Alocasia grows from a rhizome and forms a tight group of bold leaves. Variegation changes naturally between leaves, especially where pale sections meet the coppery base colour. Grow it in bright filtered light, warmth and a chunky aroid mix with quick drainage. Water after the top layer dries slightly. Contains calcium oxalate; keep away from pets and children.
