Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’ Care Guide

Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’ is a stunning hybrid known for its large, velvety dark green leaves with deep purple undersides. Native to tropical climates, it thrives indoors and outdoors with the right care.


🌞 Light

  • Indoors: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

  • Outdoors: Dappled shade or morning sun with afternoon shade.


💧 Watering

  • Water when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil is dry.

  • Keep soil moist but not soggy—avoid letting the roots sit in water.

  • Reduce watering in cooler months.


🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F)

  • Humidity: Thrives in 60%+ humidity. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or mist regularly if indoor air is dry.


🌱 Soil

  • Well-draining, chunky mix: a blend of potting soil + perlite + orchid bark or coco coir.

  • Avoid heavy, compacted soil that retains too much water.


🍽️ Fertilizer

  • Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer.

  • Avoid fertilizing when the plant is dormant.


🌿 Growth Tips

  • Clean leaves regularly to remove dust and encourage photosynthesis.

  • Rotate the pot occasionally for even growth.

  • Can grow up to 4–5 feet tall in ideal conditions.
