Description

Add a touch of dark elegance to your plant collection with the Alocasia 'Black Velvet' (Alcoasia reginula)! Known for its thick, almost black velvety leaves and striking silvery-white veins, this compact jewel is a must-have for any indoor jungle.

Unlike the overwatered stock often found at big box stores, these 6-inch specimens are grown with care at the Farm and Nursery at Chianina Microtopia. Each plant features a fully established, healthy root system potted in a premium soil mix, ensuring it arrives ready to thrive in your home or on a deeply shaded lanai.

Quick Care Tips for Success:

• ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the dark foliage.
• 💧 Water: Less is more! Allow the top half of the soil to completely dry out before watering again. Keep the velvety leaves dry to prevent spotting.
• 🌴 Humidity: Loves a humid environment (50% or higher is ideal).
• 🐾 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested. Please keep out of reach of pets and children.
