The Alocasia Black Velvet (Alocasia reginula), also known as the Elephant Ear, has thick leaves that are unusual and unique looking. The plant prefers to stay compact and makes for the ideal terrariums and terrestrial pots. This listing is for a 4" nursery pot.

Alocasia's are harder to care for because of their need for warmer temperatures and higher humidity. We recommend a humidifier, misting it twice a week, and/or adding a saucer underneath filled with rock. In the Fall when it goes dormant, don't overwater it! This is a common mistake that can kill off the plant. Don't worry, they are worth the extra love!
