Product Details
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.

Plant Care
light

Alocasia Black Velvet enjoys bright indirect light. Place it a few feet away from a bright window, filtered by thin curtains or blinds. Do not expose to direct sunlight or the leaves may burn.

water

Allow the top two inches of soil to dry before watering your Black Velvet. This plate is prone to root rot, so avoid excessively wet conditions or overpotting. Black Velvet needs well-draining soil and good drainage in its pot or planter. Make sure to water every 9 days.

temperature

Alocasia Black Velvet can tolerate tempertures from 59⁰F to 80⁰F or above. They grow faster at higher temperatures. This houseplant dislikes hot and cold drafts.

fertilizer

Black Velvet needs coarse, free-draining soil. A good mix is two parts each of perlite and orchid bark to one part potting soil.
