I got this Alocasia at Lowe’s cause I thought it was a cuprea but now I’m not really sure. It has this iridescent shimmery purple to it. Does anyone know if it is a cuprea or perhaps something else?

    It’s definitely a cuprea 😌

      Heck yeah!!! I was really hoping it was cause it’s been a wishlist plant of mine for a long time 🥹

    Cuprea and azlanii can look similar. If you take a photo with flash, it should be easy to see if it shows cuprea's red or azlanii's purple

      The pictures are with flash but that’s why I’m confused. It has a purple iridescence but doesn’t have the pink veins like an azlanii would

      Maybe it's a hybrid of both
