4" Alocasia infernalis 'Black Magic'

The Alocasia infernalis 'Black Magic' is a dramatic collector’s plant known for its exceptionally dark foliage and striking metallic appearance. Its deeply colored leaves have a near-black, glossy finish that gives the plant an almost jewel-like quality, while contrasting veins add subtle definition to each leaf. Compact and highly distinctive, this Alocasia is a standout choice for collectors drawn to unusual foliage.

Care Level: Intermediate

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the foliage and cause fading.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Allow excess water to drain completely and avoid keeping the plant consistently soggy.

Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+), which can encourage healthy foliage and consistent growth.

Collector Note: Each plant is a unique living specimen. Leaf color, sheen, veining, size, and growth habit can vary from plant to plant. The foliage may appear darker or lighter depending on lighting and maturity, and natural variation is part of what makes each specimen unique.
