Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU
Summary: This compact yet impactful Alocasia boasts deep velvety black leaves with contrasting silver veins, bringing dramatic sophistication to any indoor jungle.
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light better than other Alocasias. Avoid direct sun to maintain leaf colour and prevent scorching.
Prefers slightly moist soil with good drainage. Let the top 2-3 cm of soil dry out between waterings. Loves high humidity (60-80%).
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir. Repot every 1-2 years to refresh the substrate and maintain healthy roots.
Toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
Slow-growing with a clumping habit. Produces underground rhizomes that can be divided carefully during repotting for propagation.
Reduce watering in winter dormancy. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and enhance their velvety appearance.
Prone to root rot if overwatered. Watch for spider mites in low humidity environments.
Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ is native to Borneo and prized for its jewel-like, compact form and uniquely dark foliage, making it a must-have for rare aroid collectors.

Perfekt 👌
These came in perfect shape and are so easy. We put them on rocks and soak them in water once a week. Two weeks now and they still look so fresh. That never happens with our plants.
