What You Will Receive

You will receive:

• One Alocasia Cuprea Pink Latte Variegated corm
• A corm produced by a variegated parent plant
• One individually selected and inspected corm
• Careful packaging for shipping

Corms naturally vary in size, shape, exterior texture and stage of growth. Your corm may arrive dormant, beginning to root or already showing a visible growth point.

The mature leaf shown in the product photograph is provided as an example of the parent plant’s potential appearance. The pictured mature plant is not included.

Why Collectors Love Cuprea Pink Latte

Alocasia Cuprea is prized for its thick, shield-shaped foliage, deeply defined veins and metallic bronze sheen. The Pink Latte Variegated form adds warm, creamy variegation that can resemble swirls of blush pink and milk coffee across the leaf.

Depending on the individual plant, future foliage may display:

• Deep bronze or copper coloring
• Dark olive-green sections
• Dusty blush-pink markings
• Cream or beige variegation
• Muted mint-green marbling
• Peach or latte-colored splashes
• A different pattern on every leaf

Its metallic surface and soft, warm variegation make this a distinctive choice for collectors of unusual Alocasia corms.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm was produced by an Alocasia Cuprea Pink Latte Variegated parent plant, but the color and amount of variegation in the resulting plant cannot be guaranteed.

The corm may produce:

• Strong pink and cream variegation
• Balanced bronze and variegated foliage
• Latte, beige, peach or mint markings
• Low-variegation growth
• Predominantly bronze or green leaves
• Different levels of variegation from leaf to leaf

Variegation may change as the plant matures. Purchasing a corm from a variegated parent does not guarantee a particular pattern, color balance or level of variegation.

How to Sprout Your Alocasia Cuprea Corm

Place the corm in a clean propagation container using a lightly moist medium such as:

• Sphagnum moss
• Perlite
• Fluval Stratum
• A shallow-water propagation setup
• A light, airy aroid propagation mix

Position the pointed growth end facing upward. Nestle the lower portion into the medium while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

Provide:

• Warm temperatures
• Elevated humidity
• Bright, indirect light
• Lightly moist propagation media
• Clean conditions
• Gentle airflow

Avoid keeping the corm saturated or in stagnant conditions, as excessive moisture may increase the risk of rot.

Some corms sprout quickly, while others can remain dormant for several weeks or longer.

Care After Sprouting

Once the corm develops healthy roots and begins producing leaves, gradually transfer it into a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate.

A suitable mixture may include:

• Quality potting mix or coco coir
• Perlite or pumice
• Fine orchid bark
• Horticultural charcoal
• Other airy aroid amendments

Place the young plant in bright, indirect light. Pink, cream and pale variegated tissue can be more sensitive to harsh sunlight, so protect the plant from intense direct exposure.

Keep the growing medium lightly and consistently moist without allowing it to remain waterlogged. Alocasias generally perform best in warm, humid conditions with stable temperatures and good airflow.

Pink Latte Color Notice

The appearance of Pink Latte variegation can change depending on genetics, lighting, leaf maturity and growing conditions.

New foliage may emerge with stronger pink, peach or cream coloring and shift as the leaf hardens. Other leaves may appear more bronze, olive, mint or dark green.

The term Pink Latte Variegated identifies the collector form and parent plant. It does not guarantee that every leaf will contain visible pink or latte-colored variegation.

Shipping and Live-Corm Notice

This is a living propagation product. Its appearance and stage of development may naturally change during storage, packaging and transportation.

Your corm may arrive:

• Dormant
• Rooted or unrooted
• Beginning to sprout
• With a visible growth point
• With dry exterior layers
• With minor natural discoloration

Dry outer material, small surface marks and natural differences in color or shape are not automatically signs that the corm is unhealthy.

Open the package promptly after delivery, inspect the corm and place it into appropriate propagation conditions.

Grow a Rare Pink Latte Cuprea

An Alocasia Cuprea Pink Latte Variegated corm is an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy propagation and want to grow a rare Alocasia from its earliest stage.

With patience and proper growing conditions, your corm may develop into an exceptional tropical plant featuring metallic foliage and unique combinations of bronze, dark green, cream, peach and dusty pink.

Quantities are naturally limited because each corm must be produced by a healthy parent plant.
