Hello 👋 my black velvet put out this mutated pup. Does anyone have any idea what it would be classified as?

They both look odd colours to me 😂

Is the lighter leaf older? It looks like it is darkening up with age

#### Shneebly replied on 2026-09-06

The leaf in the foreground is older. It does change slightly as it hardens off but it definitely has dark veins with a light colored leaf. It almost looks like a silver dragon but it's definitely from a black velvet.

Brand new leaf vs older one. See how they’re completely different to the posted one?

Or wait sorry are both leaves the pup from the black velvet?

### Shneebly commented on 2026-09-06

Yes both leaves are on the same pup from the black velvet. I think i found a name for this mutation through description but I can't find any photos so I can't be sure. It might be alocasia black velvet "ghost"

Could this have happened. If so BONUS 2 for 1 deal 😂

I don't think so because I have had my black velvet for like 5 years
