Alocasia cuprea 'Red Secret' Variegata layers pale variegation over the coppery metallic surface of Red Secret. Cream or light green markings break across glossy bronze leaves, so each blade can show a different balance of shine, colour and pattern. Its compact size keeps the patterned metallic leaves close to the pot. Pale markings interrupt the metallic sheen and add a second layer to the rounded blade surface. The curved blades can show different tones from the centre to the edge, especially where pale sectors meet bronze tissue. Mature leaves show the clearest mix of gloss, bronze colour and variegation. Use lighter watering when growth slows.
