Alocasia Black Velvet 4" Pot (Alocasia Reginula)

Overview:
The Alocasia Black Velvet is an exquisite and highly sought-after variety of Alocasia, known for its dark, velvety leaves that resemble luxurious black velvet. The deep green to almost black foliage is contrasted beautifully by its striking silver veins, making this plant a standout addition to any indoor garden. Despite its exotic appearance, the Black Velvet is a compact and easy-to-care-for plant that thrives indoors. Its unique texture and dramatic appearance make it a favorite for collectors and those looking to add an elegant, tropical touch to their home.

Light/Water Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
