Alocasia Black Velvet is one of the most recognized Jewel Alocasias in cultivation. Known for its striking near-black, suede-like foliage and bold silver-white veining, Black Velvet is a compact grower that punches well above its size. A staple of collector and boutique houseplant markets with steady demand across beginner and experienced grower segments alike.

What You Receive

10 Alocasia Black Velvet tissue culture plantlets sealed in sterile culture media. Plantlets may range from newly established cultures to larger, well-rooted specimens depending on the production batch. Size and root development will vary — this is normal for TC and not an indicator of plant health.

How Gellies Works

We operate on a made-to-order import model. When you place your order, we bring your plants in fresh from our lab partners in Asia. Plants ship from Florida shortly after arrival, minimizing storage time and helping ensure healthy, vigorous cultures. We import weekly, allowing us to offer fresh tissue cultures without long-term holding periods.

For Growers and Resellers

Black Velvet has broad, consistent demand — one of the few Jewel Alocasias that moves across both collector and general houseplant markets. TC allows growers to enter premium varieties at a lower starting cost and capture the value through grow-out. No minimums — order what you need.

Acclimation

Black Velvet out of TC wants 70–80% humidity, warm temperatures, and bright indirect light. Keep the corm dry-side early and resist overwatering. Reduce humidity gradually with good airflow to harden off cleanly. Properly acclimated plantlets establish quickly and reward growers with vigorous growth.
