Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet' Medium
Dark elegance redefined – Alocasia Black Velvet Medium
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.
✨ Why You'll Love the Alocasia Black Velvet
- Stunning dark velvety foliage with bright silver veins
- Medium size (P12 pot | H20cm) perfect for desktops, side tables, or moody plant corners
- Compact and slow-growing, ideal for small European apartments
- Easy to style in minimalist or gothic-themed interiors
🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light better than other Alocasias. Avoid direct sun to maintain leaf colour and prevent scorching.
💧 Water & Humidity
Prefers slightly moist soil with good drainage. Let the top 2-3 cm of soil dry out between waterings. Loves high humidity (60-80%).
🪴 Soil & Potting
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.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Slow-growing with a clumping habit. Produces underground rhizomes that can be divided carefully during repotting for propagation.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Reduce watering in winter dormancy. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and enhance their velvety appearance.
🐛 Common Issues
Prone to root rot if overwatered. Watch for spider mites in low humidity environments.
🧬 Botanical Background
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.

Super good packaging and the plant looked great! after just a few days after arrival a new leaf appeared, so I am super happy and can´t wait to have the little babies grow!
The Alocasia itself is beautiful and healthy, with a lovely new leaf already developing. However, the packaging method used for shipping was very disappointing. The pots were stacked together in a way that put strong pressure on the stems during transport for several days, which caused permanent bending on some petioles and damage to one leaf.
At first, my concerns were underestimated, but after additional photos and explanations, Plant Circle handled the situation professionally and offered a fair partial refund, which I appreciated.
So overall, the plant is beautiful, but the packaging method for large Alocasias clearly needs improvement.
The leaves were wrinkled from shipping.
The plant arrived with a torn leaf due to shipping.
Dropped 2 small leaves while in transit, but plant looks healthy
