🌿 Plant Care Tips

Alocasia cuprea x frydek is a hybrid between Alocasia cuprea (native to Borneo, noted for its metallic copper‑coloured juvenile leaves and purple reverse) and Alocasia frydek (a domesticated form of Alocasia micholitziana, with velvety deep green leaves and crisp white veins). This hybrid combines the copper sheen and softness of cuprea with the bold arrow‑shaped form and contrast veining of frydek.

Water:
Keep an airy, well‑draining potting mix moist but not soggy. Water when the top one‑third of the potting mix begins to dry. Avoid letting the soil stay waterlogged, particularly in winter when watering can be reduced. These Alocasias dislike sitting in water/

Light:
Provide bright filtered light or strong indirect light, ideally from an east‑ or north‑east‑facing window. Avoid direct sun, especially midday sun, which can scorch delicate foliage. Lower light may slow growth and reduce leaf quality.

Humidity:
Requires moderate to high humidity, around 60 % or more. Good ambient humidity can be supported with a pebble tray or humidifier. At humidity levels above 70 %, this plant could perform well in a terrarium—ensure adequate height if using an enclosed space given its potential size. Leaf margins and texture remain best under consistently humid air.
