Alocasia Reginula Black Velvet, Jewel Elephant Ear: This plant has a name worthy of royals: "Reginula" or "Little Queen". A Jewel Alocasia, it grows slower and is more diminutive than some of the other Elephant Ear plants. Grown for its deep-toned and velvety leaves with striking silver veining, it holds court, gaining admirers who love its tropical beauty and easy-growing nature. Keep out of the way of pets. You might even consider placing this plant in a larger-sized terrarium.
