Alocasia infernalis ‘Black Magic’

Alocasia infernalis ‘Black Magic’ is a compact dark Alocasia from Borneo with glossy leaves that can look deep purple, violet-black or almost black depending on the light. It stays much smaller than many upright Alocasia, with several dark leaves held close together at the base. Mature leaves are glossy and reflect light easily, while young leaves can open with a stronger metallic purple tone.

Alocasia infernalis ‘Black Magic’ is the dark cultivated form of Alocasia infernalis P.C.Boyce, a species described from Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo. It is recorded from the Kapit Division, including the Sungai Gaat area, where it grows in warm, shaded, moist to ever-wet lowland forest. In nature it is associated with deep leaf litter over clay-rich soils, so indoors it does best with warm roots, a lightly moist mix and good aeration.

Glossy dark Bornean leaves

The leaves are peltate, which means the petiole attaches into the blade rather than at the edge. Each blade is ovate to triangular, smooth-edged and glossy, with a pointed tip and a deep purple surface on both sides. The species can reach around 55 cm tall, with leaf blades often around 15 cm long and sometimes larger on mature plants.

Growth stays compact. Several leaves can sit close together on slender petioles, forming a compact base. The leaves are thinner than those of heavy, raised-textured Alocasia, so dry air, handling marks and pests show quickly on the surface.

Care for Alocasia infernalis ‘Black Magic’

  • Light: Bright indirect light or soft filtered light suits this shade-adapted species. Indoors, steady brightness helps new leaves firm up and keeps the roots active.
  • Watering: Water once the upper layer has started to dry and the pot feels lighter. The mix should stay lightly moist, with fresh air returning around the lower roots between waterings.
  • Substrate: Use a fine-to-medium airy aroid mix with bark, coco husk, perlite, pumice or similar mineral aeration.
  • Temperature: Keep it away from cold shelves and windowsills after watering, because chilled wet roots recover slowly.
  • Humidity: Raised humidity helps the thin, glossy leaves expand with fewer crisp edges. A warm cabinet or vitrine can suit this plant if airflow is gentle.
  • Feeding: Use light, diluted fertiliser while new leaves are forming. A compact root system does best with gentle feeding.
  • Pot size: Keep the pot close to the root mass. A smaller, well-draining container gives better control over moisture.

Growth, ageing leaves and common problems

Alocasia infernalis may slow down in darker months. During a quiet phase, a firm base and stable older leaves are normal. Reduce watering according to pot drying and wait for active growth before dividing or repotting.

Watch the leaves closely because dark surfaces can hide early problems.

  • Crisp edges: Dry air, heat load or uneven moisture are the usual causes.
  • Yellow leaves: Start with lower mix moisture and root warmth.
  • Soft petioles: Root stress often begins below the substrate.
  • Dull leaf surface: Dust, hard-water residue and spider mites can all reduce the glossy finish.
  • Small new leaves: Transport, weak roots, low warmth or old substrate can reduce leaf size for one cycle.

Once a leaf has fully yellowed, remove it cleanly at the base. Healthy dark leaves should stay in place, even with small marks, because each leaf helps feed the compact plant. Firm offsets or corms can be separated during active growth.

Mature plants can produce paired inflorescences with a spathe and spadix, followed by orange to red berries. Indoors, flowering is occasional; the plant usually keeps its dark leaves through active growth.

Alocasia infernalis contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Choose a spot where pets and children cannot reach the leaves or cut plant parts. The species name infernalis comes from Latin and refers to the very dark purple-black mature foliage.

Outstanding machine with loads of uses
Color: Black, Color: Black
First off the TLDR: If you have an espresso machine, buy this. The Maestri 4 in 1 is a solidly built little machine that I truly enjoy using. It has a one piece stainless steel pitcher that is dishwasher safe and the spinner has a removable metal frother. So the only plastic touching your beverage is the small plastic spinner. As of January 2026, there is a coupon for $20, off making it $48 and for this price it simply cannot be beat. Now, if you’d like to know why I bought this over the Velvitiser read on. This is meant to be detailed and helpful for those looking at these two machines or wanting to get the most out of this one. First, cost did not really factor in. I mean I’m not looking to get ripped off, but I would rather wait and save for a superior machine, than purchase an inferior one that I will be unhappy with and is likely to break on me. Just getting that out of the way. Also I looked at the new hot and cold cocoa maker that comes with the hot cocoa mug and the iced chocolate milk glass, as well as a starter kit of 10 cocoa pouches, 5 hot and 5 cold. $179. So why did I get this instead? 1. The Velvitiser, while a beautiful machine (and it is pretty) uses a proprietary hook type spinner to whisk the cocoa while it heats it. Because of this, it is designed to be used with their proprietary hot cocoa packets, which is why 10 are included. You can upgrade to 40. And of course more are on the site. There are also subscription options. However this unit was specifically designed for the cocoa butter content, size of granules, and melting point of their chocolate, you cannot use ANY OTHER chocolate, powder, matcha, etc with it - and doing so VOIDS your warranty. Now people have done it, mostly after a year when the warranty runs out. But they risk burning out the motor. The Maestri on the other hand can use just about anything. As long as you don’t drop a whole azz bar of chocolate in the thing, you’re golden. So far, the chocolate I’ve used is: Cocoa powder, Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate, and Ghirardelli white chocolate which I grated. They worked beautifully and the drinks were delicious. Also, unlike the Velvitiser, “based on the Aztec Molinillo”, I can grate and use Abuelitas Mexican Chocolate. Take that! Also, this machine goes beyond chocolate, see point 3 for other options. 2. It only holds 8 oz. Well technically 9oz but it counts on 8 oz of milk and an oz of chocolate. Hope you’re not married. Or have a boyfriend. Or a big mug. I wanna make a hot chocky for hubby and me. If I’d gotten this I would have had to make the first mug, give it to him, refill with more milk, more chocolate, and wait for the machine. And let’s be honest, by the time my mug was ready, his would be empty. 😩 The Maestri holds two cups or 16oz, and if you pour that into the pitcher you are still well under the Max Fill Line. It’s plenty to share or for my biggest mugs it’s also great when I make iced drinks or soup which brings me to 3. The Velvitiser was very limited. I had my choice of hot cocoa or the next big thing, COLD cocoa newly introduced in September 2025. That’s it. And I hope you like their flavors cause they are your only options. Now I’m not gonna lie, they look delicious. And they almost had me with the banana milk. But they are clearly operating on a subscription model here. Also, I wanted more options. So the Maestri whispered cold foam and here we are. I’m glad I went with this because yes, the Maestri 4 in 1 will do cold foam. It will also do all kinds of cold drinks. If you have an espresso maker buy this. I should probably put that at the top. Mix any of your syrups or sauces with milk and hit the first button (snowflake). Cookie Butter Milk. Hazelnut Milk. I will buy banana syrup and have Banana Milk (I hope it tastes like Banana Runts), And you can use it to mix up your morning protein shake, as long as it’s not super thick (this is not a blender). I make protein coffee so this is a HUGE step up from my old crappy shaker with the little wire ball in it. Of course you can heat and foam your milk for cappuccinos and lattes, middle button. But I also take out the foaming ring and use that setting to make veggie broth, miso soup, and vegan ginger chik’n broth. As long as you don’t have veggies or other chunks in there you can heat up/cook any clear broth. The last button is the Cocoa button. I’ve made tons of stuff with that. Hot chocolate, mocha, golden milk, matcha, and even chai. Be sure to heat your water and milk using the machine, then steep your tea. Remove your tea bag or loose tea and spices before you run the machine again to add your sugar. None of this was possible with the Velvitiser. This machine looks nice on my espresso bar, I like that the pitcher is held to the base magnetically. I love how easy it is to clean. But most of all I absolutely love how versatile it is. I’ve only had it a short period of time but it has become central to my drink making. I use it each morning for my espresso, I use it to make an iced drink at some point during the day, and it’s winter so I am using it to make a broth most days as well. So yeah, glad I went with the Maestri 4 in 1. It’s my favorite new addition to the espresso station.

BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY!!
Color: White
BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY! We had the Maestri House Milk Frother for 5 months. It suddenly quit spinning. I contacted support as instructed in the manual. I received a reply that there is a 1 year warranty and to send my order # and video showing the problem. I did the same day. No response. I waited a week, still no response. I sent the order # and video again. It has been almost a month, I have sent 4 emails, and no one will get back with me. I found a phone number online but when I called there is an automated response with their hours and then hangs up on me. THIS ITEM WILL QUIT WORKING AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! TERRIBLE PRODUCT. TERRIBLE COMPANY!
