GENERAL CARE TIPS

Unlike some bigger Alocasia varieties, which you can train to handle full sun, Black Velvet thrives in dappled, bright but indirect light⁠—similar to conditions found on the floor of a tropical jungle. A north or east-facing window works well, providing the morning light isn't too intense. Too little light often results in straggly, leggy stems, and the lush, dark foliage color won't excel.
