Alocasia Cuprea Red 4”

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

• Keep the soil slightly moist, but don’t let it stay soggy.

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Use distilled or filtered water if possible, as it’s sensitive to tap water chemicals.

Humidity

• Needs high humidity (60%+).

• Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or mist occasionally to maintain humidity levels.

Temperature

• Thrives in warm temperatures (65–80°F)

• Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Soil

• Use a well-draining, airy soil mix, such as potting soil with perlite and orchid bark.

Fertilizer

• Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Common Issues

• Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

• Browning edges: Low humidity or underwatering.

• Drooping leaves: Cold stress, root rot, or dehydration.
