Indoor Garden Alocasias Alocasia Green Velvet

Alocasia Green Velvet

Lovers of large-leafed foliage step up.

Alocasia are unusual plants with large patterned leaves sitting pretty on thin stems. You might know them better as Elephant’s Ear.

Green Velvet is a special alocasia. He has dark green foliage that’s almost black with striking white veins. His stalks are pale with light purple banding. That’s a lot of colour on one plant!

Keep your alocasia in a bright spot that’s free from direct, burning sunlight and water when the soil is dry down to a few centimetres. If you’d like more help caring for your indoor plants read our blog page ‘The quick start guide: Indoor plants’

Green Velvet is rare and sought after by houseplant fans, so if you like this one snap him up quickly before we sell out again.

Quick Facts: 

• What to use me for: I’m a feature plant, what else! I love the pool room, bathroom, lounge, and bedroom. I fill up a tropical style garden with leafy jungle-style foliage.
• I grow to: I’ll reach up to two metres tall, but will stay contained if you leave me in a pot.
• Where to place me: Indoors I like bright, indirect sunlight. In the garden give me some shade.
• How far to space me: Give me two metres outside, please
• Soil Conditions: I like really good, free-draining potting mix – the best you can get. I also enjoy misting as my origins lie in the tropics.
