Alocasia reginula ‘Black Velvet’—This is a brilliant exotic specimen. It prefers bright indirect light and free-draining soil. I find the contrast of the dark leaves against the spectacular silvery veins to be most impressive. It’s all about the foliage here folks! I’m sure you’d agree it’s a great addition to anyone’s tropical plant collection!!!
