Alocasia Black Velvet

Caution, vulnerable to leaf damage

The Alocasia reginula Black Velvet, also known as the Jewel Alocasia, is an elegant dwarf Alocasia that owes her name to her dark, velvety foliage. The thick, dark green to almost black leaves are detailed with stunning white veins that seem to glow with an inner light. The official name of the Alocasia Black Velvet is Alocasia Reginula, which means ‘little queen’. Unlike most other Alocasia's, the Black Velvet stays relatively small. Because of her compact growth, she is even nicknamed 'Dwarf Black Queen' or 'Queen Alocasia'.
