Large Alocasia 'Regal Shield'
The Alocasia 'regal shield' is best characterized by the huge, dark green, velvety foliage. The nickname comes from the huge, shield-shaped leaves. The mature leaves can grow to span anywhere from 1 to 3 feet wide and long!
Native to the subtropics of Asia and Australia, regal shields love warmer temps and thrive in temperatures of between 60- and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When continually exposed to lower temperatures, the plant may grow dormant and lose some or all of its leaves. Keep the plant away from drafts to promote efficient growth. Under optimal humid conditions during the warmer months of the year, your alocasia has the potential to bud a new leaf each week.
