Alocasia Black Velvet

Alocasia Black Velvet (Alocasia reginula) is the perfect houseplant to make a big impression in small spaces. Most plants in the Alocacia genus are known for their large, tropical-looking, heart or arrow-shaped leaves (which is where they get their common name of elephant ears). Black velvet is much more slow-growing and smaller than many in the genus. It's sometimes referred to as a jewel alocasia because it's a diminutive gem.
