- The included Houseplant Soil Mix is a lightweight, nutrient-rich blend of materials for moisture retention, combined with perlite and coarse sand for excellent drainage and aeration. Its balanced pH and natural amendments, such as coarse peat and perlite create the ideal environment for healthy roots while mimicking the plant's native habitat, ensuring quick water flow to prevent overwatering.
- Light Requirements: The Alocasia Black Velvet prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant, velvety leaves. While it tolerates lower light conditions, avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate foliage.
- Watering Frequency: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. Overwatering can be detrimental, so moderate watering is key.
- Physical Characteristics: Its compact growth habit and dark, velvety foliage make this plant a standout piece in any space. The silver-veined leaves grow to approximately 6–8 inches in length, providing a dramatic yet understated elegance to your indoor garden.
- Temperature and Humidity Tolerance: As a tropical plant, the Alocasia Black Velvet enjoys warm temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C) and high humidity levels. Consider placing it near a humidifier or misting occasionally if your home’s air is dry.

Testimonials





Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
