Alocasia Black Velvet Aurea variegated

Alocasia Black Velvet Aurea Variegated is one of the most breathtaking rarities in the plant world—the already stunning Black Velvet with its charcoal velvety leaves and white veins, now adorned with splashes and sectors of golden-yellow (aurea) variegation. Extremely limited in cultivation and highly sought by collectors worldwide.LIGHT: Bright indirect light is essential to maintain and encourage variegation. Avoid direct sun, which can burn the delicate variegated tissue. WATER: Allow top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Variegated tissue is more sensitive—lean toward underwatering rather than overwatering. Use well-draining aroid mix. HUMIDITY: 65–80%. High humidity is particularly important for this rare variety. Avoid misting directly on leaves. FERTILIZER: Dilute fertilizer to half strength and feed every 2–4 weeks in spring/summer. Over-fertilizing can stress variegated cells. TEMPERATURE: 65–85°F. Keep consistently warm; avoid all cold drafts. TOXICITY: Toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.HOW OUR SHIPPING WORKS We ship all live plants with custom packing, insulation, and lots of cushioning so they actually arrive alive.Shipping rates are based on the packed weight of your order (plants + soil + pot + box + insulation).
