How to care for an Alocasia Black Velvet

Watering Alocasia Black Velvet

An Alocasia Black Velvet prefers evenly moist soil, but not soggy roots. Water about once a week and always check that the top layer of potting soil is almost dry. Overwatering can cause root rot; therefore, it's best to use a mixture with well-draining components such as perlite or potting soil for Alocasia .

Light for Alocasia Black Velvet

This plant grows best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the dark green, almost black leaves, while too little light affects leaf color and growth. Place your Alocasia near an east- or west-facing window, or combine it with houseplants that have similar light requirements, such as the Monstera Minima .

Potting soil and fertilizer

An airy, slightly acidic potting soil is ideal for aroids. You can use a ready-made mix or mix your own with peat-free potting soil supplemented with hydroponic clays and perlite. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid plant food.

Common problems and solutions

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves are often caused by a combination of too much water and insufficient light. Check your watering and adjust it to a weekly routine when the surface is dry. Also read the tips in our blog post about caring for Alocasia for additional background information.

Plant dripping

Moisture drips at the edges could be guttation, a natural process in which the plant releases excess water. This occurs primarily at night or in high-humidity environments. As long as the soil isn't constantly soaked, there's no reason to panic.

Plagues

Spider mites, thrips, and scale insects can plague your Alocasia Black Velvet. Inspect the undersides of the leaves weekly and treat minor infestations immediately with a mild soap solution or use sticky traps to repel fungus gnats . For severe infestations, you can also use an organic spray or seek advice via our contact page .

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

If the roots grow out of the drainage holes, your plant needs a larger pot. Choose a pot one size larger and change the top layer of potting soil as needed. Want to know exactly when repotting is best? Then browse our collection of potting soil and accessories for suitable materials.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges are often caused by dry air or too much direct sunlight. Place a humidifier nearby or group your Alocasia with other air-loving plants like Asplenium Parvati . Avoid drafts and bright sunlight to keep the leaves healthy.

Works great and is affordable!
Color: Black
Works great! The magnet it comes with is quite weak. But the tool itself works great.

No gimmicks, just a solid WDT tool
Color: Metal Black
This is the second Aieve product I’ve purchased, after a very good experience with their XL espresso cooling ball. This WDT tool isn’t flashy, it doesn’t look like a praying mantis or deploy like a switchblade; but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The tool sits in a nicely weighted base that protects the needles from bending, which is a big improvement over the magnetic “floating” styles. The base has enough weight to stay put, and it’s easy to remove and return the tool without it tipping or sliding around. The base itself fits nicely in my tamping station. It also comes with replacement needles, which are simple to swap out when needed. If you’ve been going down the rabbit hole comparing every WDT tool out there, this is a straightforward, well-designed option at a very reasonable price.

Solid 4mm WDT tool with a solid stand and a magnet option for some machines.
Color: Black
Solid WDT tool with good hand feel and convenient counter top stand. 4mm needles and it works fine. 10 of these 4mm needles adequately stir the espresso in the portafilter. No real complaints about build quality. I attached the included magnet. There are many people who have identified that the magnet is not strong. This is true but it depends on the materials on your espresso machine or grinder. On stainless steel units (unpainted or thinly painted) it has good adhesion. On units that might have used thick paint ( which shouldn't be compromised) it may not stick well. So I took a star off--I do have a stainless steel Espresso machine and it sticks fine. It also stuck ok to my refrigerator , microwave and airfryer. If your espresso station is near other appliances---well there you go--also it does show that it "can stick" to fairly common other magnetic materials. My refrigerator is coated in white . I was going to simply buy acupuncture needles, a wine cork and make one of these but add those costs together and heck $9 for this unit with a stand was a great deal.

Great little tool
Color: Black
It’s a cheap tool but can actually make an impact on the coffee. Been using for a few months and still works great.
