Alocasia Black Velvet (Reginula) Plant

Alocasia Black Velvet, scientifically known as Alocasia reginula, is a striking houseplant renowned for its deep, dark green leaves that feature velvety textures and prominent white veins. This compact plant thrives in bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate some shade, making it ideal for various indoor environments. It prefers well-draining, rich soil that retains moisture without becoming soggy, ensuring healthy root growth. High humidity is essential for Alocasia Black Velvet, so regular misting or placement on a humidity tray can help maintain its vibrant appearance. Watering should be done when the top inch of soil feels dry, as overwatering can lead to root rot. With its unique foliage, this plant serves as an eye-catching focal point in any plant collection. With proper care, Alocasia reginula can flourish for years, bringing a touch of exotic beauty to your home.
