Alocasia Black Velvet Aurea

Alocasia ‘Black Velvet Aurea’ is a collector Alocasia prized for its compact growth, velvety foliage, and striking yellow-to-lime aurea variegation. Each new leaf can develop a completely different balance of deep green and golden variegation, making every plant unique.

You will receive a well-rooted Alocasia Black Velvet Aurea pup with approximately 2–4 leaves. The plant pictured represents the variety and its potential appearance; it is not the exact plant or size you will receive. Variegation is naturally unpredictable, so leaf count, size, coloration, and variegation pattern will vary between plants.

Aurea variegation can change significantly from leaf to leaf. Highly variegated plants may grow more slowly because the lighter portions of the foliage contain less chlorophyll.
