Care tips
Keep your Alocasia ‘Red Secret’ in a consistently warm, humid spot away from draughts and cold windows. It prefers a loose, well-draining mix (like houseplant compost with added perlite). Wipe leaves gently to maintain their shine, and don’t be alarmed if it drops a leaf in winter — it will bounce back with good care in spring.
