Regal Shields Alocasia has large flat, deep green leaves with lime-colored veins. The underside of the leaves is a reddish-bronze color. This hybrid has huge leaves and grows quite large. When grown as a houseplant it will stay smaller. These gorgeous plants are a great choice for open spaces, creating a striking statement that is sure to catch everyone’s eye.
- Perfect for unique plant lovers
- Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Uses: Bright Spaces, Desktops, Humid Spaces
Care Information
- For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
- Protect furniture when watering.
- Alocasia does best with bright indirect light, but will benefit from some early morning or late day sun indoors (right in front of an eastern or western window), particularly during wintertime. You may need to use a grow light during dark winter months or move them to a sunnier window during that time.
- It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. A well-draining soil is necessary, and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. Allow the top inch or so to dry out before watering again.
- All-purpose potting mixes with additional orchid bark and perlite added is a beneficial medium for Alocasias.
- It is happiest when grown between 60 and 85 degrees.
- Alocasias also would appreciate higher humidity, so break out that humidifier.
- If your plant drops its leaves don't give up. (These plants like very consistent conditions overall when it comes to watering, temperature, and light.) Alocasias grow from bulb-like corms and can sprout new leaves under the right conditions.
