Alocasia ‘Reginae’ (Alocasia reginae)

Alocasia ‘Reginae’ is a tropical foliage plant valued for its compact size and velvety, dark foliage.

Alocasia ‘Reginae’ features thick, heart-shaped leaves with a deep green to near-black tone and a soft, matte surface that gives it a velvety appearance. Subtle venation adds gentle definition without the high-contrast patterning seen in other Alocasia types. The leaves are held on upright petioles emerging from a central rhizome, forming a tight, clumping structure that maintains a compact, balanced form over time. This plant is widely used in interior environments for its refined coloration, controlled size, and strong architectural presence in small-space plantings.

Why it works

· Dark, velvety foliage creates a refined, modern look

· Compact rhizomatous growth fits small spaces

· Upright structure provides clean architectural form
