Why plant shops stock it

The metallic, coppery leaves make Alocasia cuprea one of the most dramatic jewel Alocasia. It dislikes wet feet: let the mix dry between waterings and give it humidity and good air movement.

How we pack it

We ship this Alocasia as a corm (bulb) with the leaves removed: leaves bruise and rot in transit, while a corm travels well, passes inspection cleanly and sprouts within a few weeks of potting. Corms are cleaned, treated at the quarantine office and packed in moss or tissue inside ventilated boxes.

Care after arrival

Starting the corm: plant it shallowly in an airy mix of bark, perlite and sphagnum moss and keep it warm.
Light: bright, indirect light.
Water: let the mix dry fully between waterings; overwatering invites fungal problems.
Air: humid, with good ventilation.
Pets: like most aroids, the sap contains calcium oxalate and irritates pets if chewed. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
