Black velvet, silver thread. Alocasia Black Velvet (Alocasia reginula) brings dark foliage with pale silver veins to your indoor collection. Choose an available pot size above; inch measurements describe pot size, not plant height. Leaf color, markings, fullness and height naturally vary from the photographs.

The little queen, as its name translates, rules from a shelf edge in a way floor plants never could: quietly, at eye level, in velvet.

Alocasia Black Velvet care

• Light: Moderate filtered light suits its forest floor roots.
• Water: Err dry: water lightly once the top half of the mix dries.
• Mix: Extra chunky and airy, its fine roots hate wet feet.
• Pets: Toxic if ingested. Keep the plant away from pets that chew.
• Growth: Growth and mature size vary with the individual plant and its growing conditions.

Why is my Black Velvet not growing?

A fixed growth rate is not guaranteed. If growth has slowed, review the plant’s current care and growing conditions rather than assuming a single cause. Appearance and mature size can vary from the photographs.
