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

This listing includes 2 exact Alocasia Black Velvet live starter plants from the seller's 2-inch starter plant category. You will receive the specific young plants shown in the listing photographs. Because these are living plants, they may gain or lose leaves or develop additional growth between photography and shipment. Natural variation in leaf count, foliage size, coloration, and overall appearance should be expected.

Alocasia Black Velvet, botanically known as Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’, is a tropical ornamental aroid recognized for its thick, velvety, dark green to nearly black leaves with prominent silver-white veins. Its compact growth habit and contrasting foliage make it a distinctive addition to indoor plant collections.

This perennial Alocasia develops upright leaves from a compact base. It is suitable for indoor containers and protected foliage displays. Like many tropical Alocasias, it generally prefers bright, indirect light, an airy, well-draining growing medium, and moderate moisture. Protect the plants from freezing temperatures and prolonged exposure to harsh direct sunlight.

Shipping Size & Condition:

Quantity: 2 exact live starter plants Listed Size: 2-inch starter plant category Plant Selection: Exact plants pictured Root Development: Starter plants; roots may not fully occupy a 2-inch nursery pot Shipping Condition: Bare root Nursery Pots Included: No Shipping Height: Not specified

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 refers to the starter plant category, not the shipping height of the plants or an included nursery pot.

These are young starter plants, and their root systems may not fully occupy a 2-inch nursery pot.

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

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