    Alocasia Black Infernalis

    Botanical Name: Alocasia infernalis ‘Black Magic’
    Common Name(s): Alocasia Black Infernalis, Black Magic Alocasia, Black Panther Alocasia

    The Alocasia Black Infernalis is a rare and visually arresting houseplant, cherished for its deep, almost black foliage and metallic sheen. Native to the Island of Borneo in Southeast Asia, this black Alocasia features narrow, lance-shaped leaves with a rich burgundy to near-black hue that shimmers with a subtle iridescence in the light. The dark, velvety leaves and compact growth habit make it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection, especially for collectors drawn to moody, dramatic aesthetics.

    It's a relatively compact Alocasia, typically remaining a manageable size suitable for shelves or tabletops (around 20-30cm tall, up to 60cm mature). To help your Alocasia Black Infernalis thrive, provide it with bright, indirect light. Too much sun can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little may dull its color and stunt growth. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, allowing the top 1-2 inches to dry out between waterings. The soil should be airy, well-draining potting mix, often an aroid mix containing coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark.

    Like many tropical plants, it flourishes in high humidity (usually 70-80%)  and warmer temperatures (65–85°F or 18–29°C). Using a humidifier, placing it in a terrarium, or grouping it with other humidity-loving plants can help create its ideal environment. Reduce watering in autumn and winter when growth slows and avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. 

    Note: Like other Alocasias, the Black Infernalis is toxic if ingested. Be sure to keep it out of reach of pets and children to ensure safety.

     

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This Alocasia loves plenty of light but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch. The scorch is harder to notice with the dark leaves. Avoid low light conditions. 

    Water

    Water once a week: This plant prefers weekly watering or when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure that the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 65-85°F (18-27°C) with very high humidity. Keep away from temperatures below 50°F. 

      1. Wipe leaves regularly: The large glossy dark leaves of this plant are prone to dust, so regularly wipe them with a damp cloth.
      2. Avoid Cold Drafts: Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes with this Alocasia. Keep away from locations with heating vents and air conditioning units within 5-10 feet. 
      3. Ideal growth for small spaces: This Alocasia tends to be more compact and slow-growing, making it an ideal for smaller spaces. 
      4. Repot every 1-2 years: This prefers to be slightly root-bound, so only repot every 1-2 years, or when you notice the roots outgrowing the pot.
      5. Fertilizing during grown season: During the growing season (spring and summer) use a diluted liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing in autumn and winter.

      FAQs

      Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

      Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

      If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

      Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

      Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

      How can I change my order details?

We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

      If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

      Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

      Where do you ship?

      We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

      Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

      Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
