Alocasia reginula is also known as the Little Queen of Alocasia, monarch of the tropical
rainforest.
The leaves have a regal velvety look, and they feel
somewhat velvety, but with an added rippled texture, as though the leaf
veins were embossed. Additional reddish
patches on the undersides of the leaves and the pale cast of the petioles
with small highlights beneath the silvery-white main veins, add a hint
of sparkle to this Little Queen. The leaves are unusually thick for an Alocasia,
almost succulent.
Leaves are ovate, elliptic
and almost totally peltate. The upper leaf surface is a dramatic
green-black to black color, and the lower leaf surface is a rich purple.
Petioles are long, cylindrical with a long sheath.
Spathe with margins overlapping below
to form a cylindrical or ovoid tube: usually boat-shaped, becoming
reflexed, falling after flowering. Spadix is shorter than spathe, with a
sterile appendix.

Alocasia reginula cannot tolerate wet soil.
Even soil that is moist all the time is going to make her ill. First and
foremost, she needs air to the roots. Soil media mix must be very well
draining, preferably with less peat moss and plenty of washed perlite,
composted pine bark, or silica sand. Secondly, to keep fresh air in the
root zone, water deeply but infrequently. Deeply means such that the
water percolates down and drains quickly out of the pot, allowing fresh
air into the soil pores. Infrequently means so the roots of your
Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet' don't stay too wet between waterings.
This Little Queen can be a finicky alocasia, Alocasia reginula 'Black
Velvet' needs to be kept warm, but not too humid, in bright light, but
not full sun, and cozy, but not over size potting. Pot them very well
draining soil media, let dry out between deep waterings, give them
bright light but not sun, and fertilize lightly, or not at all if the
weather is cool and your Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet' is not growing
much.This is an excellent container
plant.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.

COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
See
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for all items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes. |
