Alocasia cuprea

From the jungles of Borneo comes this bold and beautiful houseplant. Alocasia cuprea offers large, heart-shaped leaves patterned with prominent veining, copper coloured when young, maturing to green with rich purple undersides. The foliage is wonderfully glossy, giving a metallic sheen when it catches the light that really captures the room. This lush tropical plant is bang on trend, making a dramatic statement in modern interiors. Maximum height and spread: 50cm (20in).
