Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet'

Botanical Name: Alocasia Reginula

Common Names: Black Velvet

Description: Meet the Alocasia Reginula, a plant so striking it looks like it belongs on another planet! 

Also known as the African Mask or Elephant Ear, this mesmerizing houseplant boasts dark, velvety leaves with bold, silvery-white veins that create an almost otherworldly contrast. Its dramatic foliage makes it a true showstopper, perfect for adding an exotic flair to any indoor space.

But be warned—this beauty has a diva personality! The Alocasia Reginula demands bright, indirect light and consistently moist (but not soggy) soil to stay happy. It thrives in high humidity, so misting or a nearby humidifier is a must. Cold temperatures? Absolutely not! This plant is incredibly sensitive to chills, so keep it warm and cozy. And if you have pets, keep it out of reach—it’s toxic to furry friends. If you’re up for the challenge, the Alocasia Reginula will reward you with its stunning, alien-like charm!
