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.

Unpredictable bounces
Size: Small, Size: Small
My 3-year old Cavapoo loves these little toys, although I haven’t given them to her all at once. Typically, she is able to chew a little hole in anything with a squeaker within hours. The first one I gave her, it took her more than a day to chew off a little ear, but she still love to play with it. The second one is completely intact after more than a week. What both of us like is that the shapes with tiny nubs make the toys bounce unpredictably. They are small and light-weight which makes them easy to throw in the house without doing any damage. I am careful to not throw them at the TV or delicate items. I’ll actually buy them again when she needs more toys. EDIT 3/19/2026: It’s 3.5 months since I first wrote about these toys. Tater is playing with all four critters. It’s a miracle that all of them are intact and squeaking! Even the one with an ear missing squeaks as long as I cover the little hole. I just added all of the Chiwawa toys to favorites so I can find them again—if or when these ever wear out.

Fun Bath Toy - Loud Squeaker
Size: Small
My dog loves these little squeaky toys. The squeaker is loud and the toy is very durable. She can chew on it and it still looks the same. We love to add them into the bathtub when it’s time for a bath to make her less stressed. She loves to bat them around the house. They roll around pretty well.

Good quality for the price, I’m very happy with this purchase.
Size: Small
They’re slightly smaller than a tennis ball, lightweight, and have a nice bounce. My dog is medium-sized (about 68 lbs) lab mix, and these work great for her. I’ve been looking for a toy like this for a long time. It’s made of soft rubber/silicone and squeaks with very little pressure, which is perfect for my dog. She loves to gently carry toys around the house and yard, and most squeaky toys require too much force. These are easy for her to squeak and just the right size to carry.

The best new toy in years! 🧡
Size: Small, Size: Small
I opened the package and took out the peach toy for my 7 pound nine year old Yorkie. Needless to say, the floor is already covered with a dozen other toys. When he touched this toy with his nose, it somehow started spinning around. He backed up and then swatted it with his paw. It rolled about three feet away. He has been playing with ‘peach’ for about 25 minutes nonstop, so I had to interrupt my busy day to write this review. I have not ever seen him love a toy this much. Now, it is squeaking pretty much nonstop, and he is still picking it up and tossing it. It is the perfect size for him. It’s a great deal too, with four similar toys in the package.
