Alocasia Black Velvet Pink #2 | Pink Variegated Jewel Alocasia

Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet', pink variegated. The jewel Alocasia — compact, suede-textured, near-black blade with silver-white venation — carrying pink variegation.

The plant

Alocasia reginula is a dwarf, rhizomatous jewel type that stays small and dense rather than reaching for height. The leaf is thick and matte, so dark it reads black in most light, with silver venation drawn across it like inlay.

The pink form pushes blush through that dark blade. Nothing in the genus gives contrast like it — which is precisely why this form is hard to source and rarely available in numbers.

What you're buying

The exact specimen in the photos. Variegation in Alocasia is unstable by nature — it can strengthen, shift, or revert as the plant matures. That is part of growing a variegated Alocasia, and it is priced accordingly.

Care, briefly

• Light: Bright indirect. Black Velvet burns in direct sun faster than almost any Alocasia, and pink tissue goes first.
• Water: Let the top half dry, then water sparingly. Rhizome rot from overwatering is the single most common way this plant is lost.
• Humidity: 60%+. Below that the margins crisp.
• Mix: Very airy and fast-draining — bark, perlite, pumice. Never dense soil.
• Warmth: 20–27°C. Nothing below 15°C.
• Watch: Spider mites on the leaf underside. Check weekly in dry rooms.
• Dormancy: Reginula may drop leaves and rest in winter. The rhizome is alive. Keep it barely moist and warm, and it returns.
