Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo Variegated

Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo

Alocasia Black Velvet Pink Albo is an exceptionally rare collector’s cultivar, admired for its dramatic dark foliage combined with delicate pink and white variegation.

The classic Black Velvet (Alocasia reginula) is known for its compact growth and striking velvety leaves, almost black in appearance, highlighted by bold silvery veins. In the Pink Albo form, soft blush-pink tones appear alongside crisp white sectors, creating a remarkable contrast against the deep velvet background. The interplay of dark texture and pastel variegation gives this plant an almost jewel-like appearance.

Even at the juvenile stage, this cultivar already displays its characteristic leaf texture and early variegation while continuing to develop stronger structure and more defined patterns as it matures. As with all variegated plants, the distribution and intensity of color will vary, making every specimen unique.

A highly desirable addition for collectors who appreciate compact growth paired with rare and elegant variegation.
