A compact tropical with dramatic contrast, Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ is loved for its deep, velvety leaves and striking silvery veins. The dark foliage has a luxurious, almost suede texture that makes this plant feel like living art. Despite its bold looks, it stays small and manageable - perfect for desks, shelves, or grouped displays with other aroids.

Watering:This plant likes to have consistently moist soil, but not soaking wet. This plant is sensitive to tap water, so filtered or rainwater is best.

Hot tips:Loves humidity but dislikes wet feet, try a pebble tray to boost humidity without overwatering. Remove any yellowing leaves to keep it looking fresh. Growth may slow in winter - this is normal.
