Alocasia 'Regal Shields' | Fast EU shipping | Grown with love in the EU | Not pet-safe
Summary: With its velvety, deep green leaves and striking shield-like form, the Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’ adds a dramatic, tropical flair to any European home. Compact yet bold, it thrives in German apartments and bright living rooms.
Place your Alocasia in bright, indirect light. It tolerates a bit of morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays that may scorch its velvety leaves. Perfect near east- or north-facing windows in European apartments.
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow the top 2–3 cm to dry before watering. This tropical beauty thrives in higher humidity—mist occasionally or pair with a humidifier, especially during dry German winters.
Use a well-draining aroid mix: peat-free potting soil blended with perlite and bark works beautifully. Repot every 1–2 years to encourage steady growth.
Not safe for pets: Alocasia leaves contain calcium oxalate crystals that can be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested. Place out of reach of curious paws.
Alocasia 'Regal Shields' grows from underground rhizomes. Expect new leaves to unfurl regularly during the growing season. Propagation is best done by carefully dividing rhizomes during repotting.
During winter, growth naturally slows. Reduce watering and keep your plant in a warm, draft-free spot. In spring and summer, feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage lush growth.
Alocasia 'Regal Shields' is a hybrid cultivar of Alocasia odora and Alocasia reginula. Bred for its dramatic foliage, it brings a regal presence to modern homes across Europe.

My experience at plant circle: I ordered 5 plants, alocasia to Slovenia, but Loco was sold out, they informed me about this and gave me the choice of another plant or a refund, my decision is to get another Frydek plant. The shipment of plants arrived carefully packaged without damage. But the alocasia was not in the package, at first I was disappointed, but the next day I was surprised, DPD delivered and made up for my Frydek plant. I received a notification from plant circle that they forgot to send it in the first shipment and sent it back without any additional costs. plant circle is one of the best indoor plant stores, you deserve a rating of 10 not just 5. Thank you.
