Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet Variegata'

Alocasia reginula "Black Velvet Variegata" is a rare and impressive variety of the Alocasia reginula species. It is known for its compact, heart-shaped leaves, which have a velvety texture. What distinguishes it from the original "Black Velvet" form is the variegation or modeling with various shades of green and cream, which adds a spectacular contrast to the almost black color of the leaves.

This tropical plant is native to Southeast Asia and prefers well-drained soil, high humidity and strong indirect light. Because of its variegated leaves, this variety may require a higher amount of light than its non-variegated form to maintain the multicolored appearance of the leaves.

Watering should be done in moderation; the soil must be allowed to partially dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Fertilization is best done during the growing season, with a balanced fertilizer, but in moderation.

Note: Alocasia is a sensitive plant. Therefore, it is possible to receive these plants with some defects on the leaves, but these do not affect the viability of the plant.
