Alocasia 'Black Velvet'
A little extra plant love.
A couple of our favorite plant-care essentials.
Alocasia 'Black Velvet' keeps things compact but dramatic, with thick near-black leaves that feel velvety and are traced in pale silver veins. The matte surface absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the plant an unusually rich depth.
Plant care at a glance.
Keep it warm with steady humidity and moisture, but never leave the roots sitting wet.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY FAQs
Where will my plants ship from?
Your new plant is in good hands! We work with trusted plant partners in Texas, California, and Florida who know a thing or two about growing happy, healthy plants. Your order will ship from one of these locations, carefully packaged for its journey home.
When will my plants ship?
Good things take a little time, especially when they're alive! Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days. Delivery times vary depending on where your plant is shipping from and where it's headed.
What if my plant arrives damaged?
Plants are living things, and sometimes the journey can be a little rough. If something isn't right within the first 30 days of delivery, email us at dirtbagsfromtx@gmail.com with your order number and a few clear photos. We'll help make it right with a replacement plant.
Can I order plants during winter?
You sure can! We ship plants year-round, but tropical plants aren't exactly fans of freezing temperatures. For colder destinations, please add a heat pack to your order. We recommend one heat pack for every 3–4 plants.
Cold-weather damage caused by insufficient heat protection isn't covered under our guarantee.
Do you use sustainable packaging?
We do our best to keep things thoughtful, right down to the packaging. We prioritize paper-based materials and work to minimize single-use plastics wherever possible.
Can I change my shipping address after ordering?
Need to make a change? Reach out as soon as possible! Address changes for processed orders must be submitted within 24 hours. Once your plant is on its way, we may not be able to make adjustments.
Free shipping on eligible orders of $60 or more.
HOW YOUR PLANT ARRIVES
A little plant mail is headed your way.
There's something pretty special about opening a box and finding a new plant inside. We want that experience to be just as exciting as picking one out in person.
Every plant is carefully selected and packaged by one of our trusted plant partners in Texas, California, or Florida.
No two plants are exactly alike.
And we think that's a good thing. Your plant may look a little different from the photos on our website. Leaf size, shape, color, and growth patterns can vary. That's the beauty of bringing something living into your home.
Give your new plant a minute to settle in.
After spending a few days in a box, your plant might need a little time to adjust. Unpack it carefully, check the soil, and find a spot with the right lighting.
A little patience goes a long way. You can always reference the care guide on this page if you need a refresher.
