Alocasia Plant Care

Regal Shields

Alocasia Regal Shields thrives in bright indirect light, and its leaf color is accentuated when provided with some direct sunlight. While it can tolerate shade, optimal growth occurs in well-lit locations with an eastern or western exposure.

When it comes to watering, maintaining evenly moist but not soggy soil is crucial. Alocasia Regal Shields requires less water during its dormant winter period, and allowing the top soil to almost dry before watering helps prevent issues like root rot and fungal infections.

The alocasia regal shields plant is rated for Zones 9 to 10. Find your zone here

Elephant Ear Plant FAQ

Alocasia Regal Shields thrives in well-draining soil and requires regular watering to maintain consistently moist but not waterlogged conditions. Provide bright indirect light, and supplement with some direct sunlight for optimal growth. Keep the humidity high, as these plants appreciate a tropical environment. Regularly remove any yellowing or damaged leaves, and fertilize sparingly during the growing season.

Alocasia Regal Shields can tolerate some direct sunlight, but it is best suited to bright indirect light with filtered sun. Exposure to full sun for extended periods may lead to leaf burn and scorching. Providing dappled or partial shade, especially during the hottest part of the day, ensures the plant’s well-being.

Alocasia Regal Shields can reach an impressive size, with mature plants often boasting leaves that span up to 3 feet in length. The overall height and width of the plant will depend on various factors, including environmental conditions, care practices, and the plant’s age. Regular pruning of damaged or undesired leaves can help maintain a more compact appearance.

While Alocasia Regal Shields can tolerate some gentle air movement, it is generally advisable to protect them from strong winds. The large, broad leaves of this plant may be susceptible to tearing or damage in windy conditions. Placing the plant in a sheltered location or providing windbreaks can help prevent such issues.

We care. When you order from Tropical Plants of Florida, your order is not carelessly thrown in a box. First your plant is hand picked from our field by our experts. Then, it is prepped for shipping where we carefully wrap the base to ensure minimum soil spillage while your plant travels to you. After this a recycled paper sleeve is placed around your plant. If your plant is traveling to a colder climate, it gets extra special attention with a recycled blue jean plant-blanket for the ride.

Our promise. Our goal is to ship quality plants. If your plant has gone through our care filled shipping process and come out injured, TPoF is here for you. Please contact us as soon as possible with pictures of your plant.
