How to take care of Alocasia Regal Shield

Sun: Indirect

The Alocasia Regal Shield thrives in bright, filtered light. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. Rotate regularly for even growth.

Light: Medium – Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. Place your Alocasia Regal Shield near an east- or west-facing window for best growth.

Water: When mostly dry

Water thoroughly when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Do not let it sit in water—Alocasias are prone to root rot if overwatered. Ensure your pot has good drainage.

Humidity: High

Alocasia Regal Shield enjoys moderate to high humidity. It will benefit from occasional misting or a nearby humidifier, especially during winter months or in dry homes.

Pet Friendly: No

This plant is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by cats, dogs, or small children. Keep out of reach.
