Alocasia 'Red Secret'

🔥🩸 Alocasia ‘Red Secret’ (al-oh-KAY-sha “Red Secret”) 🩸🔥

Also known as: Alocasia cuprea ‘Red Secret’, Elephant Ear ‘Red Secret’.

Red Secret looks like it was forged from metal—thick, sculpted leaves with a coppery red sheen that shifts in the light. Undersides flush deep red, while the textured, almost reptilian surface adds a dramatic edge to its jewel-like presence.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light; too little and the sheen dulls, too much direct sun scorches.
💧 Water – Keep soil evenly moist, letting the top 1–2 inches dry between waterings. Can do well in a semi-hydro set up.
🌡️ Humidity – Loves 60%+ humidity; dry air causes crisping and brown edges.
🌱 Growth – Compact, usually 1–2 feet tall indoors. New leaves emerge glowing copper-red and darken as they mature.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate–High (picky about consistency in water, light, and humidity).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause mouth irritation and stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
The most vibrant red tones appear when new leaves unfurl—capture that glow before they deepen into darker copper.
