Origin
The Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo Variegated is a very rare variety of the Alocasia plant group, originally from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The plant is also known as Elephant Ear plant due to the unique shape of its leaves. It is a highly sought after species for lovers of exotic plants.

Characteristics
The Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo Variegated is mainly distinguished by its deep coloured, almost velvety leaves. These leaves have a unique pattern with pink and white spots, encapsulated by dark green edges. The plant can grow up to 50cm in optimal growth conditions. Another striking feature is the green, striped trunk of the plant.

Care
Maintaining the Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo Variegated requires certain considerations. The plant likes high humidity and does well in indirect light, but can also survive in lower light conditions. Watering should be regular but moderate to prevent over-watering. Lastly, it's important to use a rich, well-draining soil as the plant doesn't grow well in heavy, compact types of soil.
