Alocasia Regal Shield - 8" Pot

All rise for the majestic drama that is Alocasia ‘Regal Shield’. With its velvety dark green leaves and purple undersides, this plant doesn’t whisper elegance—it thunders it. The giant shield-shaped leaves look like something straight out of a fantasy novel—protecting the throne, deflecting bad vibes, and demanding filtered light like the botanical diva it is.

It’s not here to play. It’s here to reign.

Benefits:

Show-Stopping Foliage: Those huge, velvety leaves are basically a red carpet moment.

Air-Purifying: Looks good, cleans better.

Mood-Boosting: You’ll feel fancier just being in the same room.

Regal Energy: Turns any space into a royal court.

Care Instructions:

Bright, indirect light is its palace of choice—avoid harsh sun unless you want crispy crowns. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and keep humidity on the higher side (yes, it’s a bit bougie). Give it a well-draining pot and fertilize monthly during spring and summer. Oh, and don’t panic if it drops a leaf here or there—it’s just shedding peasantry.

Décor Tips:

Place it in a tall, decorative planter and give it room to stretch. This is not a background plant—it will steal the spotlight. Great for corners that need a statement or empty spaces begging for a touch of royalty.
