Grow one of the most popular collector Alocasias with this listing for 2 Alocasia Black Velvet (Alocasia reginula) XL starter plants. This compact tropical aroid is admired for its deep, velvety black-green foliage highlighted by bold silvery-white veins, making it an outstanding addition to indoor plant collections.

Each plant is shipped bare root in a protected soil pod to help reduce shipping stress. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival.

Alocasias are naturally sensitive to shipping, and some leaf loss during transit is normal. As rhizomatous plants, they store energy in underground corms and typically produce fresh growth after becoming established.

Starter plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation, but the nursery pots are not included. Plants are shipped bare root to reduce shipping costs and minimize transit stress.
