Alocasia reginae, also known as the Silver Velvet Alocasia, is a compact, jewel Aroid native to Borneo. It is prized for its thick, velvety leaves that are silvery blue-green on top and reddish-purple underneath.

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid all direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. A recommended intensity is 27000-35000 Lux.
• Temperature: Warm. Daytime: 64-77F (18-25C). Protect from temperatures below 60F (16C), as cold will induce dormancy.
• Humidity: High (60-80%). This species requires high humidity; using a humidifier or a pebble tray is recommended for optimal health.
• Watering: Water consistently during the active growing season (spring/summer). Allow the top half of the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again, as this plant is very susceptible to root rot. Reduce frequency during the cooler winter months.

Additional Notes

This plant is grown for its highly ornamental foliage rather than its flowers. It occasionally produces a simple, pale yellow-white Aroid flower (spathe).
Caution: This plant is toxic if ingested, keep away from pets and children.
