Tips
1. Bright, indirect light: Stay out of direct sunlight to keep leaves from getting burned.
2. Water in a moderate way. The dirt should be slightly wet but not soaked.
3. Keep the humidity high: mist the leaves often or put the plant near a fan; Alocasia Black Velvet likes it when the humidity is high.
4. Keep the temperature between 18°C and 27°C (65°F and 80°F), and keep it away from drafts and quick temperature changes.
5. Feeding Every Once in a While: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser to keep the leaves healthy during the growing season.
