Alocasia Black Velvet In Terrace

Alocasia reginula

Alocasia reginula, also known as Alocasia Black Velvet, is one of the "jewel" alocasias and is thought to originate from Borneo. Alocasia Black Velvet is aptly named, with fuzzy leaves that start out light green and then turn to a deep emerald, almost black color. These beautiful houseplants require more skill to successfully maintain than others. In general, they enjoy bright indirect light; too little light and the plant will grow stretched, too much bright light and the plant's leaves will burn. Allow the plant's soil to dry out before watering. This slow growing indoor plant will reward successful plant parents with large leaves and beautiful color.

The Petite Terrace highlights the beauty of ancient pottery and their imperfect surfaces. A spiraling series of etches creates an organic finish of layered texture and is the perfect size for anyone looking to welcome small and manageable plants into their home.
