Plant Look & Feel

Alocasia Green Velvet is a striking, sculptural plant with bold, heart-shaped leaves that are deep emerald green and covered in a soft, velvety texture. Each leaf is thick, slightly corrugated, and outlined with subtle pale veins, giving the plant a lush, tactile appearance. Compact yet dramatic, it makes an elegant statement in any indoor jungle or plant collection.
