Alocasia Cuprea (Mirror Plant)

The Alocasia Cuprea, also known as the Mirror Plant, is a stunning collector’s aroid admired for its metallic, almost iridescent leaves. Native to Borneo, this compact yet bold plant features deep copper-green foliage with a unique reflective sheen that changes under different lighting. Its dramatic texture and exotic appearance make it an eye-catching centerpiece for any plant enthusiast’s collection.

Alocasia Cuprea Care Tips (Singapore Weather)

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much sun may scorch the leaves, while low light reduces its striking sheen.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry before watering again.
Humidity: Thrives in Singapore’s naturally high humidity; mist occasionally if indoors with air-conditioning.
Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark.
Temperature: Enjoys warm conditions (20–30°C), avoid drafts and sudden chills.
Maintenance: Wipe leaves gently to maintain its glossy shine.
