Description
This alocasia is a winner with its dazzling display of metallic beauty. The Cuprea’s leaves delicately twinkle as light reflects the dark chocolatey-green, metallic looking foliage. Similar to the Polly, this Alocasia is more compact than others, displaying a jungle rich burgundy underside which offers depth against the lustre of its glossy new growth. Alocasia Cuprea is rare and hard to find.
