Commonly known as the Elephant Ear, the ‘Red Secret’, is considered a rare jewel alocasia and is native to the tropical islands of maritime South East Asia. The foliage is truly unique with almost topographical details and a glossy, red color. The Red Secret will add a pop of red to your plant collection and your space, leaving a lasting impression!
Being that it’s from a tropical environment, it thrives in moderate to high humidity, warm temperatures, slightly moist soil, and medium to bright indirect light. This makes them great to place on a desktop, bookcase, cubby, or small nook in your home that is well-lit, but doesn’t get direct light! Over time this plant may lose some of its smaller leaves, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant’s life cycle as all alocasias prefer to have fewer, large leaves, rather than many small leaves.
