Alocasias in general are known for their stunning foliage, and this ‘Regal Shield’ hybrid is no exception. It's named for its large — up to 20 inches! — triangular, shield-shaped leaves, which are a deep, dark green (almost black in some cases) and velvety to the touch, with a contrasting purple-y mauve (the color of royalty) underside. This large plant arrives up to 30" tall and can grow up to 5' feet under optimal conditions (it prefers a higher humidity environment).

  • Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range

  • Arrives in 10" diameter grow pot
  • Large plants benefit from brighter light to help retain their mature foliage
  • Large plants require less frequent waterings due to their higher volume of soil
  • If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately

Care Guide

Large Alocasia Regal Shield Southeast Asia, Australia
Plant Care
  • Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Alocasia can go into a dormancy phase and dieback during fall and winter. Increasing light and humidity can help deter this.
  • Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity. Alocasia can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
  • Alocasia form bulbs called corms underground from which new Alocasia babies can grow.
Sad Plant Signs
  • Wilting leaves and stem, dry potting mix:

Thirsty plant, underwatered

  • Yellowing leaves and mushy blackened base:
