Alocasia ‘Antoro Velvet’ is a dark-leaved elephant's ear stunner that’s not just a gorgeous houseplant but conversation-sparking, living statement art for your home. The dark green to jet-black color. The velvety texture. The eye-catching arrow shape. And new to the world of houseplants. ‘Antoro Velvet’ was recently discovered in an Indonesian rainforest, unofficially named for its discoverer and the multitude of hairs covering the foliage. The lush, dark green foliage, with its fuzzy texture, creates a mesmerizing visual and tactile appeal. Alocasia ‘Antoro Velvet’ enhances both modern and traditional interiors. Place it in a decorative pot on a side table, allowing its elegant leaves to cascade gracefully. Alternatively, make a bold statement by featuring it as a centerpiece in your living room, drawing attention to its rich hues and distinctive shape. Provide bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Alocasia ‘Antoro Velvet’ thrives in high humidity. Placing a humidifier nearby will create an ideal environment. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).
