Alocasia Regal Shield 130mm

Big, shield-shaped leaves in deep green give this Alocasia a bold, sculptural look. Its rich purple leaf undersides add a little surprise whenever the light catches them.

Care: Place in bright, indirect light in a warm spot. Use a well-draining potting mix and keep it away from cold draughts.

Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 5 cm of soil feels dry, then let excess water drain away. Water less often when growth slows in winter.

Fun fact: Despite its dramatic foliage, Regal Shields belongs to the same plant family as the peace lily.
