Just like fruit & veg, plants come in all shapes and sizes. Some might not come top of a beauty contest, but they'll still put a smile on your face for years to come. Our Perfectly Imperfect Plants are exactly that.
They might be a strange shape or have an odd mark, but they're still beautiful. No matter which way these plants grow, or the marks they show, they're still as healthy as every other plant we sell.
What are my imperfections?
- I was damaged in transit and lost one or two leaves
- Some of my leaves might have marks or damage on them
- As I'm not 'perfect', I can't be returned, and I'm not covered by a guarantee
Betty, an Alocasia Black Velvet, Alocasia Reginula, or Jewel Alocasia, is a stunning dwarf variety of the Alocasia family native to Malaysia and Borneo.
Believe it or not, her name actually translates to 'little queen', and it's pretty clear to see why!
There are 2 main reasons why she's so popular; 1, she's pretty rare, and 2, well, just look at her! Her leaves are an almost black matt dark green, paired with bright sparkly silver-white veins.
Perfectly Imperfect, Alocasia Black Velvet
Betty prefers bright indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
