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.

Pro Tip

Wipe down the large leaves regularly to remove dust and help the plant photosynthesize better. This also helps prevent pest build-up like spider mites or aphids.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
