Dark, dramatic, and soft to the touch—Alocasia ‘Antoro Velvet’ is velvet jungle royalty. Bold leaves, sculptural stems, and a flair for the mysterious.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is perfect. Avoid direct sun—it’ll scorch those velvety leaves. Too little light? You’ll get slow growth and smaller leaves.
Watering: Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering. Likes consistent moisture but never soggy soil. Use rainwater or filtered if possible—tap water can cause crisping.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Hates temperature swings and dry air—keep it cosy and away from draughts.
Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is ideal—chunky, well-draining, and moisture-balanced to support healthy roots and lush foliage.
Hot tips: Loves humidity—aim for 60% or more. Avoid misting the leaves directly. May go semi-dormant in winter—cut back watering and wait for spring to bounce back. Wipe leaves gently to keep them dust-free and glowing.
Pet Friendly: NO
