Watering

Watering your Alocasia cuprea is simple. It’s the same as the average houseplant. It requires an average amount of water. This means the plant’s soil should be moist. But you shouldn’t soak it with water. Over-watering is very dangerous for your plant. One of the biggest causes for concern from over-watering is root rot.

Light

The Alocasia cuprea plant needs indirect light to grow and remain healthy. The stunning leaves on this plant are prone to yellow from sitting in direct light for a long time. The leaves can and will die. The best way for your Alocasia cuprea to get light is to place it in either an east or north-facing window. This makes sure it gets enough light to thrive but isn’t receiving too much light.
