Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret'

lovely choice

They made me think of those lovely copper ornaments often seen at garden centres ... beautiful colours to this plant.

Thank you all, I'm glad you like it. I must say I've got more interested in houseplants this winter. I'm not sure how successful I will be in keeping them, though!

Klahanie, the pots were on sale, too. I don't usually enjoy pink, but I liked these.

The plant and pot go very well together. Never seen a plant like that before Ange.

Neither had I, Linda, but i had been looking out for one after I read about it.

Very beautiful! It reminds me of my very large Alocasia metallica I had for years growing outside in my planter in the SF Bay. Alocasia species are very rewarding plants.

I grew up around very large Alocasia odora and macrorrhiza plants everywhere. They grew to 7 ft or taller.

They sound gorgeous, Delonix. I hope I can give it the care it deserves here. I'm really enjoying having this one in the house - it's a beauty.

It was so beautiful and tropical. I had a beautiful Alocasia portadora growing in my front yard for 3 or 4 years, then it started to decline during the big drought. I don’t think Alocasia likes the soil and water here in San Diego. Here’s a pic

Goodness! What a beauty of a plant! Thanks for sharing, Delonix.

I’ll probably buy another one. I really like the A. portodora hybrid.
