Alocasia Black Velvet – Plant
Description
The Black Velvet Alocasia is a rare dwarf variety sought after because of its unique black colouring and velvet leaves.
Alocasia is an impressive-looking beauty with massive, fan-like leaves that give it the nickname ‘Elephant’s Ears’. Originally from the rainforests of South-East Asia, where its foliage acts as makeshift umbrellas in tropical downpours, Alocasia blew up as a house plant in the 1950s, and still has that nostalgic, vintage vibe.
A striking and beautiful houseplant, it is defined by its deep greenish-black leaves accentuated by whitish or light green veins. The leaves are roughly serrated, and in some cases, the leaf colour appears as an almost purple-green. Leaf shapes range from wide hearts to slim arrowheads, with a soft velvet-like texture.

Soil
- Soil should be well drain and porus.
Watering
- Poke your finger/plain small stick into the soil to check the moisture.

- Do not overwater the plant.
- As a rule of thumb, water the plant thoroughly in the summer and reduce watering in winter and rainy season.
