Alocasia 'Regal Shields'

🔥🛡️ Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’ (al-oh-KAY-sha “Ree-gul Sheeldz”) 🛡️🔥

Also known as: Alocasia odorax × Alocasia reginula ‘Regal Shields’, Elephant Ear ‘Regal Shields’.

Regal Shields is a bold, architectural hybrid that boasts deep green glossy shields of foliage with rich purple-burgundy undersides and bright lime veins. Its large, shield-shaped leaves are dramatic and textured, giving a grand tropical statement in any room.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light is ideal; too much direct sun will scorch the leaf margins, too little light dulls the contrast.
💧 Water – Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top 1-2 inches to dry slightly between waterings. Semi-hydro setups can also work if drainage and moisture control are good.
🌡️ Humidity – Aim for 60-80% humidity; warmth (65-80°F / 18-27°C) helps keep foliage lush.
🌱 Growth – Can grow 2-3 feet indoors under good conditions; large leaves with visible veins do plenty of the show work.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate-High (needs consistent moisture, warmth, light contrast).
🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested (can cause mouth irritation, swelling, stomach upset). All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Purple undersides are most vivid when leaves are young—rotate your plant so each new leaf catches filtered light early to show its dramatic hues.
