The leaves of Alocasia cuprea are oval, with a thick, leathery texture and a metallic sheen that can range from deep green to bronze, with hints of red or purple depending on the lighting. The veins are deeply etched, giving the leaves a three-dimensional, almost reptilian appearance. The underside of the leaves typically has a reddish hue.

Alocasia cuprea thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its color and growth are best maintained in a well-lit environment. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause the leaves to burn or lose their metallic luster

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Alocasia cuprea prefers consistent moisture but should not be overwatered, as this can lead to root rot
