Meet Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Variegata—a miniature jewel Alocasia with dark velvet leaves, bright veining and rare pink-toned variegation. It is small, slow and precious, so success comes from steady warmth, airy roots and careful light rather than big watering.

  • The Formal Name: Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet Pink Variegata'
  • The Nickname: Pink Variegated Black Velvet Alocasia
  • Roots: A variegated collector form of Alocasia reginula Black Velvet, grown for compact velvet foliage.
  • Natural Vibe: Jewel-alocasia care: bright shade, warmth, humidity and sharp drainage.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light is essential for variegation, but avoid direct sun on the velvet and pink tissue.
  • Best Room: Best in a warm cabinet, under gentle grow lights or in a stable humid plant area.
  • Snacks: Feed weakly in active growth only; small variegated plants can be sensitive to strong fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Likes high humidity but must have airflow to avoid leaf spots.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep 20–27°C if possible and avoid cold compost.
  • Thirst: Let the top layer dry slightly, then water carefully. Overwatering is the biggest risk.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – aroid foliage contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals, so keep away from pets and children who may chew leaves or stems.
  • The Bedding: Very airy aroid/jewel mix with bark, perlite, pumice or similar drainage.
  • Family Tree: Corms from mature plants; variegation can vary between corms.
  • Space Needs: Compact and slow; avoid crowding or touching the velvet leaves.
  • Speed: Slow, especially while small or highly variegated.
  • Uninvited Guests: Spider mites and thrips can mark the velvet surface quickly.
  • Moving Day: Keep snug and repot only when roots are clearly active.
  • Haircut: Remove only fully spent leaves; even partly green variegated leaves feed the plant.
  • Fresh Air: Humidity plus airflow is the winning combination.
  • Plant Lore: Black Velvet types are prized because their leaves absorb light like fabric, making veins and variegation pop.
