Alocasia Cuprea (Bronze Cuprea)

THE TROPICS ~ December 09,2011

We believe this is the most stunning Alocasia there is. And we LOVE Alocasias. These plants (commonly known as African Masks and Elephant’s Ears) are mainly valued for their gorgeous leaves, which are very large, heart- or spade-shaped and beautifully coloured and variegated in gleaming shades of green, purple, bluish-green, red and bronze. They also produce small, calla-like flower spathes.

Your Bronze Cuprea needs a large pot with good drainage. Feed the plants weekly while growing and protect from strong sunlight. It’s a small growing Alocasia with a maximum height of 2.5 feet. Very sweet.

We suggest you gift-one for a Christmas gift; we’d be most pleased with this in our sack.
