The Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’ Pink Variegated is a rare twist on an already beloved aroid, celebrated for its velvety, dark foliage and distinctive pink marbling. Each leaf of this striking cultivar boasts plush, almost black surfaces lined with silver-white veins, while subtle blush-pink patches lend a soft pop of color. The result is a one-of-a-kind statement piece that will captivate houseplant collectors and interior decorators alike. Please note that variegation patterns may vary, and are not guaranteed to remain consistent over the plant’s lifespan.


Notable Features

  • Luxurious, Velvety Leaves: True to the “Black Velvet” name, each leaf feels plush to the touch, offering a uniquely tactile element to your plant display.
  • Rare Pink Variegation: Delicate shades of pink can appear across the leaf surface, providing a romantic contrast against the deep, dark background.
  • Compact Growth Habit: Ideal for tabletops or shelves, this Alocasia’s smaller stature brings an elegant, tropical charm without overwhelming your space.
  • Highly Sought-After: The eye-catching color contrast and rarity make this plant a must-have for collectors of unusual aroids.

Interesting Facts

  • Bright, Indirect Light is key to maintaining vibrant coloration and healthy leaves, though it can tolerate slightly lower light conditions.
  • High Humidity (around 60% or higher) supports steady growth and helps keep the velvety leaves looking their best.
  • Like many Alocasias, calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves and stems can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s best kept out of reach of curious animals.

Important Note on Variegation
Variegation intensity and distribution can be influenced by lighting, temperature, and overall care. While the “Black Velvet” Pink Variegated is known for its unique coloration, no two leaves will look exactly the same, and some may display more or less pink than others over time.


Shipping Note
We carefully pack your Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ Pink Variegated to safeguard its delicate foliage in transit. Minor cosmetic imperfections may occur, but with attentive care and proper acclimation, your new plant will continue to flourish—rewarding you with its velvety, eye-catching leaves for years to come.
