What collectors say
Care
Light. Bright, indirect light. Variegated tissue carries less chlorophyll and scorches more easily than green, so filter strong sun.
Water and humidity. Keep the substrate evenly moist, never wet. Aim for 60% humidity or higher.
Feeding. A balanced feed programme through spring and summer; ease off in winter.
Dormancy. An Alocasia that drops its leaves in the cold is usually resting, not dead. Keep it warm and barely moist and it will push again.
Delivery and arrival
Plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday only, so they never sit in a depot over a weekend. Every order is sent with a heat pack and packed plastic-free.
Free UK delivery on orders over £75. Unpack on arrival and give your plant a few days of steady conditions to acclimatise.
Every plant is covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. If there's a problem, email sales@thealocasiacompany.co.uk within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Please don't repot in those first 7 days, as repotting voids the guarantee.
Pet safety
Like all aroids, this plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and children.
About this cultivar
CUPREA LATTE VARIEGATED
Alocasia Cuprea Latte Variegated: Rare Metallic Copper-Leaf Collector's Houseplant
The Alocasia Cuprea Latte Variegated is a rare species native to Borneo, carrying the signature coppery appearance with latte colouring and variegation patterns on leaves that can reach up to 60cm long.
Why Collectors Value Alocasia Cuprea Variegated
This rare variegated cultivar holds the interest of serious enthusiasts with metallic leaves in varying hues of ruby red, set off by the variegation. Also known as the Mirror Plant for its iridescent, luminous quality, the waxy, thick, glossy leaves are at their best when backlit or in sunshine, when they appear to glow bright red.
A Luminous Plant for Advanced Collections
Suited to dedicated collectors drawn to Borneo's native flora, this variegated form combines the coppery metallic appearance with variegation that adds another dimension to already distinctive foliage. Large leaf size, a metallic finish and rare variegation together make this a collector's houseplant that holds a room.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
