#alocasia reginula

[lokislittlestar]

Welp since I’ve bought new stuf for Loki and I’ve been cleaning I’m redoing his altar and I have tons of shit coming for him

Including a potted plant I got a discount for in a app (def recommend it if u walk a lot it’s called Treecard and with a craft amount of steps u can plant a tree and u get stars from ur trees for discounts and stuff ! U can use my code lael-hpi and or the link )

And he picked it himself I tried to ask if he wanted a different plant and showed him a new one and with out hesitation he said “no❤️”

Then went back to the plant he picked -Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet'

And it’s cute and from what ur says it’s gonna be easy to take care of too

“If you are fond of all black foliage, this is the variety for you. These plants usually stay small and classy! Alocasia or Elephant’s ear is a large, evergreen perennial from damp sites in south and southeast Asia. It’s large arrow-shaped leaves come in a variety of green hues overlaid with splotches of black, purple, or aged copper. They love warm humid environments so keep your Alocasia away from air conditioners and cold drafts”

I mean look how pretty!!!

I’m pretty sure my alocasia black velvet will be the pachyphytum oviferum of tropical plants for me. Basically the one I struggle with.

I think I may need to get a humidity meter along with a humidifier. I think the room it’s in is pretty humid as it is so for now I’ll just get the meter to be sure.

But if it ends up not being a humidity problem then it might be the fact that it came in a starter plug which the seller said not to remove. Being new to tropical plants I just went with what the seller suggested but I may repot this tomorrow and carefully remove the plug. I just have to wait for my orchid bark to be delivered.

It’s so weird because my alocasia silver dragon is in the same growing conditions and it’s doing perfectly fine. It even has a starter plug as well. But I don’t think it needs as much humidity as the black velvet.

I don’t know, we’ll see what happens once I make these changes.

I got one of these guys. I THINK it is a Alocasia reginula. It probably says on it and I am probably wrong. I can't wait to murder this (alocasia and I have some disagreements, but the price was right).

Alocasia reginula- ‘Black Velvet’ (Freida🥰)

✯¸.•´*¨`*•✿ ✿•*`¨*`•.¸✯

One of my favorite plants!! The leaves are so velvety looking, yet, they feel rather rough? I purchased this at Lowe’s and even got a corm that was hidden in the soil! Currently, there are two growth points coming out of this plant and one leaf is peeking! ❤︎︎

New leaf on alocasia 'Regal Shields'. This is one of Lariann Garner's hybrids. If you have any interest in alocasia, you've undoubtedly come across her plants. In addition to this one, she is responsible for x portora, 'Sumo', 'Dark Star', and 'Tiny Dancer', among others. This particular hybrid is unusual because it's a cross between the large-growing Alocasia odora and the small, black-leaved Alocasia reginula. Only seven viable seeds were obtained from the cross in total. The result is a plant with the easy-growing habit of odora and dark beauty of reginula. (It's also in mass production, so don't be tricked by independent sellers massively overcharging for it!)
