Alocasia 'Regal Shields' | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Toxic to pets
Summary: With its striking dark green leaves and regal purple undersides, Alocasia 'Regal Shields' creates a commanding tropical statement in any room while remaining surprisingly easy to care for.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch. Ideal near east or north-facing windows or under grow lights in darker European homes.
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Loves high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidifier, especially during dry winters to prevent crispy edges.
Prefers a well-draining, airy mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and support healthy root growth.
Toxic to pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs to avoid irritation or stomach upset.
Moderate-growing with leaves reaching over 40 cm wide as it matures. Propagate via division of offsets during repotting for new plants.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Clean large leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their stunning dark sheen.
Prone to spider mites, thrips, or aphids in dry conditions – maintain high humidity and inspect regularly. Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage.
Alocasia 'Regal Shields' is a hybrid known for its dramatic shield-shaped foliage with velvety dark green surfaces and regal purple undersides, adding luxurious tropical beauty to European interiors with minimal effort.

Very fast shipping and good quality plants. I recommend100%
Very interesting white leaves. Came with some yellowish ones probably from travelling. I can understand that plants with rare colours on their leaves may be more complicated to remain as received.
