# My Black Velvet Alocasia is huge! She sits right in front of a south…

My Black Velvet Alocasia is huge! She sits right in front of a south facing window, so she gets plenty of light, she’s just tall!

Her brighter leaf is just about finished coming in and is the first new growth (besides a flower that I’ve cut) since I’ve had her. Each leaf is growing in larger than the last!

Since she’s so tall, do you think she might be a hybrid of some sort? She’s not a Ninja, which was my original thought, because she has the characteristic Black Velvet purple underside. She was sold to me as a BV.
