{"product_id":"alocasia-regal-shields","title":"Alocasia 'Regal Shields'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDistinct bicolour velvet leaves in a compact habit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlocasia 'Regal Shields' shows thick, cordate–sagittate leaves held horizontal to slightly upward, with a dark green upper surface subtly suffused with purple and strongly purple undersides. The pinnate, yellow‑green veins contrast sharply against the deep tones and the leaf texture is coriaceous — a velvety, shield‑like cluster that reads jewel‑like on a shelf or side table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung leaves can show a slightly different hue than mature ones and colour intensity shifts with light, but the plant does not produce splits or fenestration — leaves remain single and whole. The habit is a compact, upright clump arising from corms; new leaves unfurl through the growing season and the cultivar reproduces true-to-type by corm division or tissue culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday ownership expect the dramatic colour and compact form, but also some needs: it prefers consistently moist, well‑drained substrate, higher humidity and warmth, and will develop crispy edges in dry or cold indoor conditions. It can attract occasional spider mites and, like other Alocasias, contains calcium oxalate crystals so keep it away from pets and children — a genuine trade‑off for its jewel foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest suited to bright, indirect locations such as a shelf, side table or desk, this cultivar is offered in Medium and Large pot sizes; a Medium works well as a smaller shelf or desk specimen while a Large delivers a fuller display and greater visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Medium - P14 H50","offer_id":54854645088524,"sku":"MM-MEC-0417","price":16.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large - P17 H55","offer_id":54854645121292,"sku":"MM-MEC-0415","price":29.24,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/alocasia-regal-shields-variant-1.jpg?v=1783164302","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/alocasia-regal-shields","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
