Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated Corm

Grow a striking metallic Alocasia from its earliest stage with an Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated corm.

Alocasia Cuprea is prized by collectors for its thick, shield-shaped foliage, deeply sculpted veins and glossy metallic appearance. The Pink Variegated collector form may produce dramatic combinations of bronze, dark green, silver, cream and blush-pink coloring.

This listing is for one corm only—not the mature plant pictured.

What You Will Receive

You will receive:

• One Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated corm
• A corm produced by a pink-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 image is provided as a reference for the parent plant’s possible appearance. The mature plant pictured is not included.

Why Collectors Love Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated

Alocasia Cuprea has an unmistakable metallic quality that can appear bronze, copper, deep green or silvery depending on the lighting. Pink variegation adds another layer of color and contrast to its already dramatic foliage.

Future leaves may display:

• Metallic bronze or copper coloring
• Dark green or olive sections
• Dusty pink or blush variegation
• Cream or pale peach markings
• Silver-toned marbling
• Speckles, splashes or larger sectors
• A different pattern on every new leaf

The combination of sculpted foliage and unpredictable pink coloring makes this a standout variety for rare Alocasia collectors.

Important Variegation Disclosure

This corm was produced by an Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated parent plant, but the exact appearance of the resulting plant cannot be guaranteed.

The corm may produce:

• Strong pink variegation
• Balanced pink, bronze and green foliage
• Cream, peach or silver 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 specific color balance, pattern or amount 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 of the corm into the medium while leaving the growth point exposed or only lightly covered.

Provide:

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

Avoid keeping the corm in saturated or stagnant conditions. Excessive moisture and poor airflow can increase the risk of rot.

Some corms sprout quickly, while others may 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 and cream variegated areas can be more sensitive to strong light, so avoid prolonged harsh sunlight.

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 Variegation Notice

Pink coloring can vary depending on genetics, lighting, growing conditions and leaf maturity.

New foliage may emerge with stronger pink or peach coloring and change as it hardens. Other leaves may appear more bronze, green, cream or silver.

The term Pink Variegated identifies the collector form and parent plant. It does not guarantee visible pink coloring on every leaf.

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 Cuprea

An Alocasia Cuprea Pink Variegated corm is an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy propagation and want to grow a rare metallic Alocasia from the beginning.

With patience and proper growing conditions, your corm may develop into an exceptional tropical plant featuring sculpted foliage and unique combinations of bronze, green, silver, cream and blush pink.

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