Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ – 2–3” Starter
Dark Luxe Foliage | Compact Size | Collector Favorite

Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ is proof that you don’t need a giant plant to make a big impact. Its deep, almost black leaves are velvety to the touch and traced with bold, silvery-white veins that pop against the dark background. The compact growth habit makes it perfect for small spaces, desks, or plant shelves where it can be admired up close.

This listing is for a 2–3” rooted starter, already showing off its signature velvety foliage and striking contrast.

Care Tips:

• Bright, indirect light for vibrant leaf color

• Keep soil evenly moist but avoid soggy conditions

• Prefers moderate to high humidity

• Use a well-draining aroid mix to prevent root rot

• Not pet-safe — keep away from pets

Plant nerd note: Native to the jungles of Southeast Asia, Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ is prized by collectors for its jewel-like leaves and manageable size. It’s a member of the “jewel Alocasia” group, known for their intricate foliage and slower growth.

Shipped with care in protective packaging. Rooted, healthy, and ready to bring a touch of dark elegance to your plant collection.
