🌼 Cultivation & Care Information

• Common Name: Pink Variegated Black Velvet Alocasia

• Botanical Name: Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet' (Pink Variegated)

• Plant Type: Rare tropical aroid / Collector houseplant

• Sun Requirements: Bright, filtered indirect sunlight (Essential for maintaining the variegation and leaf health; keep away from harsh, direct sun to prevent scorching the velvety surface)

• Soil / Medium: Requires a very light, airy, and high-drainage aroid mix (A professional blend of orchid bark, perlite, and charcoal is crucial for root aeration)

• Watering: Moderate; allow the top 50–75% of the soil to dry out between waterings. Alocasias dislike "wet feet"—ensure excellent drainage is maintained at all times.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: To keep that stunning pink variegation bright and prevent the leaves from losing their deep black "velvet" texture, maintain a consistent environment! This plant loves moderate to high humidity (60%+). Placing it in a well-lit cabinet or near a humidifier will ensure the leaves grow lush, healthy, and perfectly patterned. Remember: less is more when it comes to watering—give it enough light, but keep the soil slightly "breathable" to keep those roots happy!
