Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet Gold' pairs compact dark velvety leaves with warm yellow to gold-toned vein contrast. Close-set rounded blades form a small cluster of dark, textured foliage. Gold veining stands out against the dark matte surface while the leaf shape stays small and rounded. The veins are most noticeable on settled leaves with a soft surface and defined margins. Let the top of the mix dry slightly before watering again, and avoid leaving the base wet. Keep children and pets away from the foliage, as chewed leaves can be irritating.
