Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet'

Alocasia Black Velvet, popularly called Elephant Ear, is an exotic plant that is relatively easy to care for. A botanical beauty with special leaves, available only in limited stock!
Alocasia Black Velvet is a dwarf tropical plant and a "must-have" among collectors.

Recommended growing conditions:

• Light : prefers indirect, moderate to bright light; direct exposure to strong sunlight can cause burns on the leaves.

• Watering : The soil should be kept slightly moist, but not overwatered. Before watering again, allow the top layer of the substrate to dry out slightly to prevent root rot.

• Soil : aerated, well-drained mixture, consisting of peat, perlite and possibly pieces of bark, to ensure good air circulation to the roots.

• Humidity : Coming from tropical areas, Alocasia Black Velvet prefers medium to high humidity. Misting the leaves or using a humidifier can be helpful in dry spaces.

• Recommended temperatures : warm medium, without sudden variations. Although it does not require extreme temperatures, it should be protected from cold.

• Fertilization : moderate, with a balanced fertilizer, especially during the growing period (spring-summer). Avoid excess, which can burn the sensitive roots or leaves.

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