Alocasia Frydek, the green velvet alocasia, carries large, arrow-shaped leaves in a deep matte green with crisp white veins, like drawn lines on velvet. It stays a manageable size indoors while looking far more dramatic than its footprint.

Give it bright, indirect light and let the top inch or two of soil dry between waterings. It appreciates warmth and humidity, so keep it away from vents and cold drafts. A well-draining mix prevents the soggy roots alocasias resent.
