The Alocasia Regal Shield, with its striking shield-shaped leaves, is a true statement plant for any indoor jungle. Known for its dramatic foliage and bold presence, this plant adds a touch of tropical elegance to any space.
Light Needs: Alocasia Regal Shield thrives in bright, indirect light. It prefers filtered sunlight or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves.
Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away completely. Ensure the plant is not sitting in water, as this can lead to root rot.
Humidity Needs: Alocasia Regal Shield loves high humidity. Aim for humidity levels of at least 60-70%. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the pot on a humidity tray, or using a room humidifier.
