30 Days Returns
Due to the sensitive and breakable nature of our products, it's understandable that damages may occur despite our meticulous packaging methods.

We are committed to resolving such issues by offering a refund or a replacement, depending on the availability of the item in question.
We are unable to accept returns that are not related to damage because plants are inherently perishable and delicate.

Alocasia Black Velvet is a tropical houseplant that is popular for its striking appearance. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Alocasia Black Velvet healthy and thriving:
Light: Alocasia Black Velvet prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Alocasia Black Velvet loves high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or by placing a tray of water near the plant. You can also mist the leaves regularly to help increase humidity.
Temperature: Alocasia Black Velvet prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.
Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Repotting: Alocasia Black Velvet grows quickly and may need to be repotted every year or two. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.
Pruning: You can prune the plant to control its size and shape or to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. This will also help promote new growth.
Pests: Alocasia Black Velvet can be prone to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.
Soil: Alocasia Black Velvet prefers a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.
Following these care tips will help your Alocasia Black Velvet thrive and stay healthy.
