Origin
The Alocasia Antoro Velvet is a tropical houseplant that originally comes from the jungles of Southeast Asia. This unique plant belongs to the Araceae family, which is known for its immense variety of species and forms. This specific species, sometimes also known as Velvet Alocasia, can be found in the wild in areas such as Borneo, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Characteristics
Distinctive to the Alocasia Antoro Velvet are its velvet-like leaves, which are both large and dark green, with strong white veins that sharply contrast against the dark background. The leaves are heart-shaped and have an arrowhead shape, characteristic of the Alocasia species. The stems of the plant are thick and sturdy, giving the plant a robust appearance.

Care
Alocasia Antoro Velvet has specific care requirements that correspond with its tropical origin. The plant requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. A light spot, but no direct sunlight is ideal for this plant. The Antoro Velvet prefers a high humidity, much like in its natural jungle environment. It is important to water the plant regularly, but overwatering must be avoided at all times.
