About
Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet' Pink Albo Variegata is a highly sought-after aroid cultivar, originating from Borneo where the species thrives as a humid tropical understory plant. This specific variegated form is a rare collector's selection, distinguished by its striking foliage. The plant features thick, velvety, almost black sagittate to heart-shaped leaves, adorned with vibrant blush pink, white, and dark green marbling or sectoral variegation patches. It maintains a compact, upright, and self-heading growth habit, supported by relatively short, reddish petioles and crisp silver venation, making it a truly unique specimen.

Of Black Velvet and Pink Blushes
Right, another rather magnificent specimen has settled into the glasshouse. It's the Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet' Pink Albo Variegata, a name almost as lengthy as the mortgage one might take out for it. Hailing originally from the Bornean understory, where its more common cousins quietly get on with things, this cultivated selection is a truly striking anomaly. The leaves, a thick, velvety almost-black, are perfectly sagittate to heart-shaped, adorned with truly arresting blush pink, white, and dark green sectoral patches. Crisp silver venation, of course. Rather compact, too. Makes one wish for a proper field trip, instead of just observing it through a steamy pane, tea in hand.
