What are pre-orders?

Plants that are available for pre-order are either:

1. Really popular so we make sure to always offer them for sale because we can get them in easily

2. Are only available seasonally so we try to help as many customers as possible get the plant they are looking for when it is available

3. Are available to us at a discounted price point that we want to pass on to consumers.

If you change your mind you can always receive a store credit. If your plant is delayed you can always receive a cash refund.

Caring for indoor Alocasia reginula, also known as the Black Velvet or Jewel Alocasia, requires a few key considerations. Firstly, it thrives in bright, indirect light, making it suitable for a location near a window with filtered sunlight. The plant should be placed away from direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Alocasia reginula prefers a well-draining soil mix that retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. It is important to water the plant consistently, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. The plant appreciates higher humidity levels, so misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can help replicate its natural tropical habitat. Regular fertilization during the growing season with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer will support healthy growth. Lastly, keeping an eye out for pests, particularly spider mites, and promptly addressing any infestations is important for the overall well-being of the Alocasia reginula. With proper care and attention, this stunning houseplant can thrive and showcase its unique dark, velvety foliage.

How to care for your

Alocasia reginula

About care instructions

Plant care can vary depending on placement, light and exact environment. You can always request plant care help here.

Water: 1-2 weeks

Let the soil dry out 50-70% between watering. You can either stick a chopstick or your finger in to make sure the top at least 2 inches of soil are dry or lift the pot to see if it feels a bit light. Water thoroughly and make sure to pot in well-draining soil with drainage holes. Depending on the season and light, you will need to water the plant every 1-2 weeks.

Sun: bright light

This plant needs at least a few hours of direct sun every day. Perfect for a space that faces a south-facing window or directly in your east and west-facing windows. Anything less, and you should consider getting a grow light. It can be placed outside in the summer, where it gets at least a few hours of direct sun a day.

Humidity: high

This plant likes high humidity. Try to keep a minimum of 50%. Having it close to your humidifier or essential oil diffuser would be amazing.
