Alocasia 'Black Velvet'

Black velvet alocasia 'Black Velvet' (Alocasia reginula)

This is one of the most sought-after "gem alocasias" in the world – Black velvet alocasia. Its compact, almost black leaves with a soft, velvety texture and bright white veins look like a delicate work of art. This houseplant is a perfect choice to add dramatic elegance to the interior and will be a refined gift for plant lovers who enjoy the unusual.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Needs a bright spot, but be sure to protect from direct, scorching sunlight that can damage the velvety foliage.

• 💧 Watering: Be careful – do not overwater! Let the top layer of soil dry out well between watering. This alocasia dislikes "wet feet".

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Loves warmth and increased air moisture. It is recommended to use a humidifier, but avoid direct water spraying on the leaves (misting) to prevent spots.

• 🐾 Pets: Not friendly – the plant is poisonous to pets if eaten.

🏠 MOST SUITABLE ROOM:

• Office desk (due to its compact size).

• Bright bathroom (it will really like the moist air).

• Bedroom shelf (as a stylish, dark accent).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 20 cm
