Commonly known as the Alocasia Reginula (which literally means "Little Queen"), this easy-to-care-for plant is considered a rare miniature jewel alocasia, part of the aroid family, and is native to Southeast Asia. With its huge, heart-shaped black leaves, contrasting white veins, and characteristic velvety texture, this bold plant is the true embodiment of "why try to fit in, when you were born to stand out"?
Being that it's from a tropical environment, it thrives in medium to bright indirect light, warm temperatures, high humidity, moderately moist soil and will grow up to 20 inches indoors. This makes them great to place on a desktop, bookcase, cubby, or small nook in your home that is well-lit but doesn't get direct light. If given enough love and light, it will bloom a flower! Over time this plant may drop some leaves, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant's life cycle as the alocasias are plants that prefer to have few, but huge leaves.

HUGE, Fully Grown, Beautiful Plants. Without The HUGE Price Tag
Lots of online plant shops that offers "big plants" cut corners and end up delivering medium-sized plants, squished into boxes that are too small.
At Pafe, we pride ourselves on delivering fully grown plants–literally 7-10 feet tall and up to 6 feet wide. They're packaged with plenty of space, so they don’t get damaged.
That’s why our pricing reflects the true value of what you’re getting—unlike competitors who leave you with underwhelming, undersized plants.
