Alocasia Regal Shields

Alocasia Regal Shield is a cross between an Alocasia Black Velvet and an Alocasia Odora, taking its velvety blackness from one and its largeness from the other. They boast black, velvety, heart-shaped leaves with slightly ruffled edges and reddish underside, and will give any space the tropical vibe you’re after. Also widely know as Elephant ears due to the shape of their magnificent leaves.

Watering: Allow the first few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Humidity: Prefers a higher humidity. Place in a naturally humid room, such as the bathroom or kitchen, or stand it on a tray of moist pebbles.

Native: East Asia.
