Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ – Dark Elegance in a Compact Jewel
Velvety Midnight Foliage – This jewel Alocasia stuns with deep, nearly black leaves accented by striking silvery-white veins. The matte, velvety texture gives it a rich, high-contrast look that stands out in any collection.
Small but Bold – Grows compact, usually reaching 8–14 inches tall, making it perfect for desks, shelves, and small-space styling.
☀️ Bright, Indirect Light Preferred – Keep in filtered light to maintain rich coloring and prevent leaf burn. Avoid direct sun.
Loves Moisture, Not Wet Feet – Prefers high humidity and evenly moist soil. Use a well-draining mix and let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.
Low-Light Tolerant – Can adapt to lower light conditions, but brighter spots will enhance color contrast and overall health.
Pet Caution – Toxic if ingested, like most alocasias, so keep out of reach of pets and small children.
✨ Compact, classy, and unforgettable — Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ is a must-have for anyone building a jewel box jungle.
