Alocasia Cuprea, also known as the Mirror Plant, is a stunning tropical plant prized for its striking, metallic-looking foliage. The leaves are dark green to bronze with a glossy finish, giving them a unique, reflective appearance. This exotic plant adds a touch of sophistication to any indoor space.
Light Needs: Alocasia Cuprea thrives in bright, indirect light. It should be placed in a well-lit room but away from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. It can tolerate some lower light conditions but will grow best with ample indirect light.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Alocasia Cuprea consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain out. Be cautious of overwatering, as this plant is susceptible to root rot.
Humidity Needs: Alocasia Cuprea loves high humidity and thrives in environments with humidity levels around 60-80%. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray with pebbles and water, ensuring the pot sits above the water line.
