# I have 2 nursery black velvet alocasia and was wondering if it will…

_Posted by Miranda on 2025-06-05_

I have 2 nursery black velvet alocasia and was wondering if it will be okay to pot them together? One just sprouted a new leaf and I’ve heard some say that plants grow better together but Im not sure if mine are still too young to do that. They’re in about 3” nursery pots right now so I was thinking both in a 4” pot maybe? I haven’t checked the root size yet as I just got them a week ago maybe and don’t know if the root system is too fragile to handle right now…

Potting them together should be fine. I have four in the same planter. All the same needs and care so it has worked for the last several months.
