Alocasia Black Velvet Pink: Rare Pink Variegated Compact Houseplant
The Alocasia Black Velvet Pink pairs the familiar Black Velvet form with pink and white variegation, an evolution of the compact favourite in which soft pink tones sit against the signature velvety dark foliage.
Why Collectors Look for Black Velvet Pink Albo
This variegated Alocasia cultivar holds all the cherished Black Velvet credentials while adding pink and white variegation. The combination of the signature velvety texture with soft pink variegation creates a distinctive look, and the colouration sets it apart from standard forms.
A Compact Collector's Plant
Suited to serious plant enthusiasts, this rare pink albo variegated cultivar combines the compact habit and reliability of the Black Velvet with pink variegation patterns that make each specimen individual. The velvety texture, lifted by pink tones, gives this rare variegated cultivar a changing visual character as it grows.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
