About Black Velvets

Native to the tropical island of Borneo, this plant gets its name from the dark velvety-like leaves, that are offset but its silvery-white veins.

Unique Meaning & Symbolism

This plant stands for seizing opportunities when they arise, even when they’re risky.
Perfect for somebody who needs a little encouragement.

Caring For Black Velvets

Light: Medium sunlight

Can tolerate medium light, but the more it gets, the bigger its leaves will grow. However, avoid direct sunlight (especially near unitinted windows), to keep its leaves from scorching.

Water: About once a week

As with ferns, Alocasias like their soil to be kept moist (but never soggy). Water lightly and regularly to achieve this, ensuring water is never logged at the bottom of the pot.

The more light your plant gets, the more you'll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.

Difficulty: Some care required

Needs some attention to ensure its soil is kept regularly moist; but master this and this plant becomes an easy and highly rewarding plant to care for.

Pets: Careful with pets

This plant may cause stomach irritation if ingested.

    The plant arrived very healthy and as described but I wanted to wait a few weeks to write a genuine review. The only negative is that some of the existing leaves had some minor damage when they arrived, but the new leaf that has come out since is perfect. It has continued to be very healthy and is now putting out two leaves at the same time which will be the second and new leaves since it arrived. The care instruction card is super useful also. Definitely recommend
