Alocasia Black Velvet – 2 Exact Live Starter Plants, 2-Inch Cultivation Size – Alocasia reginula

This listing includes 2 exact Alocasia Black Velvet live starter plants, cultivated in 2-inch nursery pots. You will receive the specific young plants shown in the listing photographs. Because these are living plants, they may have gained or lost leaves since the photographs were taken. Their leaf count, foliage density, and overall appearance may differ at shipment.

Alocasia Black Velvet, botanically known as Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’, is a tropical ornamental aroid valued for its dark green to nearly black, velvety-looking leaves and contrasting silver-white veins. The thick, heart-shaped foliage creates a distinctive textured appearance, making this plant recognizable among compact Alocasia varieties.

This evergreen tropical perennial has a compact, upright, clump-forming growth habit and is suitable for indoor aroid collections and protected containers. It generally prefers bright, indirect light, an airy, well-draining growing medium, and moderate moisture. Seasonal changes or environmental stress may cause temporary leaf loss or reduced growth.

Shipping Size & Condition:

Quantity: 2 exact live starter plants Cultivation Pot Size: 2-inch nursery pots Plant Selection: Exact starter plants pictured Rooting Status: Not fully rooted throughout the 2-inch cultivation pots Shipping Condition: Bare root Nursery Pots Included: No

Shipping Clarification:

The final Shipping Notice confirms that the plants are shipped bare root without nursery pots. This takes precedence over the earlier statement indicating shipment in a pot.

The 2-inch measurement describes the nursery pot size used during cultivation, not the shipping height of the plants.

These are starter plants, and their roots have not fully occupied the 2-inch cultivation pots.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Customer Notice:

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

Due to the perishable nature of live plants, returns are generally not accepted. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide the required photos for review.

If there is an issue with your order, contact us within 48 hours of delivery and provide:

• Photos of the shipping box

• Photo of the shipping label

• Clear photos of the plant from multiple angles

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
