Unmistakably rich and endlessly captivating, Alocasia cuprea ‘Red Secret’ is treasured for its dramatic, metallic foliage and deep, jewel-toned colour. This rare tropical houseplant is known for its thick, highly reflective leaves that shift between copper, burgundy, and deep red hues depending on the light — a living surface that feels almost sculpted rather than grown.
Each leaf emerges with a glossy, lacquered finish creating depth, texture, and movement. The result is a plant that draws you in slowly, changing subtly throughout the day with the light.
Carefully grown these plants are healthy, well-rooted, and chosen for strong colour, form, and overall quality.

🌿 How I’ve Cared for it.
Every plant parent has their own rhythm, and your new leafy mate will slowly adjust to yours. But here’s how I’ve kept her thriving here with me.
✅ Watered with rainwater. You can use filtered water too. These plants are sensitive to overwatering—go easy, me lover. I mist with a humidifier.
✅ Feed when water with Sillica Force, Superthrive Foliage Pro, Cal-Mag, & hydrogen peroxide.
✅ Healthy established plant full of life with decent roots 🌱
💧Water when the pot indicates its needed don't be tempted to over water they don’t like soggy roots & will start to rot.
🦟 All my plants are protected using a regular misting routine of SB Plant Invigorator and silica weekly alongside nematodes - prevention is always better than cure. If you can keep this up. Also a simple shower every now and then is great it removes dust and pests
☀️ Thrives best in bright, indirect light – think near a north or east-facing window with dappled sunlight. Keep the balance right, and this leafy character will reward you with steady, vibrant growth. I have found that the use of Silica Force helps with maintaining larger patches of variegated leaf. It makes a big difference its worth adding to your routine.
