4" Alocasia Red Secret

A striking member of the Alocasia family, Alocasia Red Secret is known for its otherworldly, metallic-looking foliage that catches light from every angle. The leaves are broad, heart-shaped, and deeply veined, featuring a rich, coppery red to burgundy tone with a glossy, almost reflective finish. As the plant matures, its dramatic texture and shimmering surface only become more pronounced, making it a standout in any collection.

Though it looks like a diva, the Red Secret can thrive with consistent care. Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, it prefers warm, humid conditions and appreciates a steady watering schedule—just enough to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Best suited for bright, indirect light, it rewards proper care with continued new leaf growth and a stunning sculptural presence.
