  • Ever wanted to get your alocasia cuprea red secret to have huge leaves? I discuss how I accomplished this and the products I used are listed below.
    Timeplapse: I have had this timelapse for literal months, and included this despite not being able to speed it up to 15 seconds or less. The photo intervals were 1 second apart when recorded, and I cannot edit it down to a shorter interval with adobe premiere pro. The shortest I could edit it down to was a minute which is what I have included here. If you know of a trick please comment or DM me a video on it on my instagram. I would love to know how to do this.

    I bought mine at a home improvement store as a small plant. It was about $3. I didn't realize it's rarity until I looked it up today. I guess I'm a lucky one😅
