The Alocasia ‘Black Velvet Pink Variegated’ is a breathtaking beauty — deep, velvety black leaves contrasted with delicate pink and cream variegation. Its lush texture and bold colouring make it a true collector’s treasure — small in size but impossibly striking.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep variegation and velvet tones rich

• Can tolerate medium light, though colours may soften

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the velvety leaves

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 2–3 cm to dry between waterings

• Use a well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) to prevent soggy roots

• Avoid overwatering — the velvety leaves prefer gentle consistency

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%) to maintain texture and vibrancy

• Mist lightly or use a humidifier for best results

• Dry air can cause crisping or dullness in the pink variegation

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Wipe leaves gently to reveal their velvety sheen and soft variegation

• Rotate occasionally for even growth

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
