  • Botanical Name: Alocasia reginula
  • Common Names: Black Velvet Alocasia
  • Description: Alocasia reginula, commonly known as Black Velvet, is a compact tropical plant treasured for its striking, velvety black leaves with contrasting silver veins. Native to Southeast Asia, this elegant plant brings a bold and dramatic touch to any indoor plant collection. Despite its regal appearance, it is surprisingly easy to care for when provided with the right conditions.
  • Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Preferred Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels of 60-80%. A humidifier or occasional misting can help maintain the moisture it needs.
  • Sun Exposure: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves, and low light, which may stunt its growth.
  • Toxicity: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing.
  • Mature Size: Typically grows up to 12-18 inches tall and 12 inches wide, making it an excellent choice for small spaces.
  • Plant Type: Herbaceous Perennial
  • Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 10-12 outdoors, though it is most often grown indoors as a houseplant in cooler climates.
