Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet'

  • Description
  • Light/Soil/Water
  • Hardiness
  • The Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet', often called the Little Queen or Black Velvet Elephant Ear, is a highly sought-after "Jewel Alocasia" known for its deep, luxurious foliage. This plant is a compact, slow-growing species of the Alocasia genus, native to the tropical rainforest underbrush of Southeast Asia, particularly Borneo.

    The leaves are its defining feature: thick, rigid, heart-shaped ovals with a surface that appears velvety and matte-black (deep, dark green), dramatically contrasted by striking silvery-white veins.

  • Bright, indirect light is essential for maintaining its dark color.

    Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out completely before watering thoroughly.

    A loose, airy, and very well-draining aroid mix is critical.

  • USDA Zone 10-11

    USDA Zone 9b: to -3.8 °C (25 °F)

    USDA Zone 10a: to -1.1 °C (30 °F)

    USDA Zone 10b: to 1.7 °C (35 °F)

    USDA Zone 11: above 4.5 °C (40 °F)
