Black Velvet Elephant Ear - Alocasia reginula
$16.99
+ Free Shipping
If you don't have a lot of space to work with, the striking Black Velvet is a great elephant ear variety for you. With its tiny, compact size, you can grow it anywhere. Black Velvet is the common name, but the leaves are actually a dark green color. Depending on the light, weather, and age, the leaves can be darker or brighter. If your plant doesn't look just like the picture, give it a little time to grow up. Elephant ears' attributes become more defined when they mature.
• Height at maturity: 1-2 feet
• Light: Full shade to part shade
• Soil: Well-drained, moderately dry (drier at night)
• Zones: 9-11

How tall are baby plants?
We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.
What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

The plant had three leaves and one of those were already yellow. Within a day that third leaf fell off and I was left with two leaves and those dont look too great either :(

Love these elephant ears! They are growing much slower than the other elephant ear plants I've had/ have. But that's fine with me. The plant is gorgeous and weeps when you overwater it. (Uhm. I overwatered it).
