Alocasia Black Velvet is a striking houseplant known for its deep green, almost black leaves with silvery-white veins. The leaves are velvety to the touch and have a unique, shield-like shape that gives this plant a bold, dramatic presence despite its compact size. It’s perfect for adding a touch of elegance to shelves or smaller spaces where a little contrast can go a long way.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light and thrives in well-draining soil that stays lightly moist—but not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings, and avoid letting it sit in water. Alocasia Black Velvet also enjoys a bit of humidity, so it’s right at home in kitchens or bathrooms.
My first order with this company couldn't be any better.
Super fast next day delivery, safe and recyclable packaging, very good prices (both plants and postage) and a personal email from management was a nice touch. Thank you all, keep up an amazing work
